twilight winter

On New Year's Day, there was a gala at the unit, and several children in Xia Mo's office arranged a stage play. Xia Mo felt silly watching them tossing about, and wondered if he was like this when he first went to work.

After lunch, Xia Mo solemnly drove his partner and friend to the venue.Zhuang Yan sat in Xia Mo's car and turned on the radio, gossip news was broadcasting on the radio, Xia Mo wanted to change the channel but felt it was inappropriate, so he could only drive silently.

The host on the radio spoke super fast, and the background music was so heart-wrenching, Xia Mo was in a daze when driving.

"The well-known director Jiang Yuming arrived in Z City a few days ago to select the location for her new film. Z City is the hometown of director Jiang Yuming."

The short broadcast ended before Xia Mo heard any news, but Jiang Yuming's transformation from a new director to a well-known director still made Xia Mo feel sad.

"Jiang Yuming turned out to be from our place. Really, this person is a genius. It's a pity that the genius of this year ends up with cabbage." Zhuang Yan sighed.

Xia Mo felt uncomfortable when he heard that, thinking about the current environment of the film industry, what Zhuang Yan said was not unreasonable.

Seeing that Xia Mo didn't speak, Zhuang Yan asked again: "Have you seen her movie, "The Cloud", really..." Zhuang Yan seemed to be unable to think of an adjective, so he patted his thigh.

Seeing his movements, Xia Mo laughed, and said, "We both have the same habit. We like to slap our thighs when we sigh."

"Ha, I've been your partner for two years, and you can get married if you fall in love, don't you think so?"

"Go, don't take advantage of me." Xia Mo turned off the radio.

"Hey, that's not right, you like watching movies the most, why haven't you watched the highly acclaimed "Clouds"?" It was really strange, solemnly looking at Xia Mo's side face to see the clue.

Xia Mo stared ahead, and replied in a steady tone: "I don't watch commercial movies recently."

"It's not a commercial film..." Zhuang Yan retorted.

Xia Mo had a headache, and said perfunctorily, "Go home and look for it."

Majestic pursed his mouth, looked out the window and stopped talking.

In the gala, apart from colleagues whom the TV station knew and didn’t know, there were also many leaders who didn’t see each other often.This get-together changed a bit, it was a bit like a leadership inspection, Xia Mo and Zhuang Yan had already started when they arrived, the two sat down silently under the director's white eyes.

Xia Mo was already a little drowsy when the kids in his department performed the stage play.

"It's as boring as the Spring Festival Gala." Hearing the solemnity beside him whispering in his ear, Xia Moqiang cheered up, just in time to feel the vibration of the phone in his pocket.

Xia Mo touched the phone and saw that it was Yunluo.

Bending down and walking out of the performance hall under the director's second round of white eyes, before answering the phone, she heard Yunluo complaining: "It's so boring, we have a party here, and I'm about to fall asleep."

Xia Mo laughed when he heard that.

"Me too." The voice was gentle and doting.

Probably hearing Xia Mo's emotions, Yun Luo's voice also softened.

"I want to hug you to sleep."

"Hmm." A colleague passed by, Xia Mo stroked his left elbow with his right hand and lowered his head to smile.

"Touched your hair." Yunluo smiled.

Xia Mo walked to the window not far away, looked at the flower bed outside the window, the red flowers were summed up as "New Year's Day" four characters.

Yunluo went on to say, "kiss your fingers."

Xia Mo chuckled, but remained silent.

"Your lips are very soft, I want to lick them lightly." Yun Luo became bolder as she spoke.

Xia Mo felt her body heat up, and hurriedly stopped Yun Luo from continuing.

"Okay, don't look serious. I won't stop you. Do you want to make love with me on the phone in public?" Xia Mo wanted to say "make|love", but it was difficult for her to speak such naked language.

Knowing that Xia Mo was shy, Yun Luo laughed lowly.

The two chatted for half an hour, Xia Mo heard a burst of applause from the studio, and told Yun Luo to pay attention to his body before hanging up the phone.

Back at the studio, the show was almost done, Xia Mo was just sitting in her seat, and Zhuang Yan, who was next to her, patted her thigh.

"What are you doing?" Xia Mo pretended to be angry and scolded him.

"The director said that he didn't have to go back to the unit for a while, he booked a restaurant, and we went to eat." Zhuang Yan pursed his mouth again.Xia Mo's head grew dizzy when he heard that, the director's food is not so easy to eat, and he probably needs to drink again.

Xia Mo is afraid of drinking, and even more afraid of being at the same table with the director.

But there is no escape.Arriving at the restaurant, Xia Mo consciously found an inconspicuous place to sit down.

In the first round of the game, Xia Mo quietly poured wine into the flowerpot beside him under the solemn protection of his side.

Putting down the cup, she solemnly smiled at her: "You should sit next to the fish tank. After you leave, the waiter will come to clean up the box and find that his fish are all swimming sideways."

Xia Mo took a look at him and turned to chat with the colleagues around him.

"Xia Mo." When the director's voice sounded, Xia Mo felt his scalp go numb.

"Director." Xia Mo, who had a smirk on his face, heard the "hehe" sound of solemn laughter.

"Everyone wants to do entertainment shows, why do you say you are good enough to be transferred to do food shows?" The director's round, flushed face was full of concern.

Sitting upright, Xia Mo replied without thinking: "I like cooking."

"Sister Xia is a good wife and mother." The little girl who took Xia Mo's class sneered.

Xia Mo twitched the corners of her mouth and said nothing.

The director glanced at the little girl, then turned around and asked Xia Mo: "After a few more years, I'll be a news anchor, don't you think about it?"

Seeing everyone at the table looking at him, Xia Mo thought that this old man would really make enemies for him.He replied sweetly: "Director, I know you love me, but I've been running all over the world these years, and I'm tired. Besides, what Xiao Wang said is right, I want to be a good wife and mother, and I also want to consider starting a family." .”

"Oh." The director nodded in understanding.

"Isn't Sister Xia Mo married?" The little girl sincerely made Xia Mo unable to step down.

Xia Mo's smile disappeared, and the colleagues at the table also pretended not to hear.Xia Mo felt that breath in her heart again, bit her lip, and said for a long time: "Well, with a man, but divorced. I plan to marry a woman now."

The atmosphere turned cold, the director frowned, and wanted to say something to Xia Mo, but he didn't say anything.

Zhuang Yan was stunned beside Xia Mo and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Xia Mo, you are really a man." A few old colleagues also laughed, Xia Mo felt calm, stood up with a glass of wine, walked to the director's side, bent down, and whispered into the director's ear: " Director, don't worry, I can start our department's entertainment program in two years, and I will be able to bring you a food program with higher ratings in the future." After speaking, he glanced at Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang pouted with dissatisfaction all over his face.

After hearing Xia Mo's military order, the director showed a triumphant smile, raised his glass and praised Xia Mo: "Xia Mo, is this Xia Mo?"

When the dinner was over, Xia Mo was a little drunk.Originally wanted not to drink, but in the end he drank so much because of the provocation of a little boy, Xia Mo stood on the steps of the restaurant and cursed himself for not being able to hold his breath, like a young and frivolous young man.

Even so, Xia Mo felt comfortable from the bottom of his heart.

After so many years of suppressing various emotions, one finally burst out. Xia Mo yawned, touched his hot face, and cheered himself up: "Xia Mo, it should be like this. Especially for that Jiang Yuming , you should be like this."

Thinking about it, she felt another puff of breath coming up, Xia Mo hurriedly got into the taxi and closed her eyes.

Xia Mo was tired of listening to the popular three popular songs in the taxi, and couldn't bear to let the night shift driver lose his only entertainment, so he had to take out the phone.

Seeing Yun Luo in the recent call, Xia Mo lingered for a while, then tapped the dial pad.

The familiar number has been engraved in his heart, seeing three words appear under the number, Xia Mo pressed it without hesitation.

The phone rang three times and was connected.

"What's the matter?" There was no subject-predicate, and the man's voice seemed to be there.

Xia Mo looked at the passing car lights outside the window, holding back tears, but didn't know what to say.

Jiang Yuming heard no sound from the receiver, so he listened closely to his ear, Xia Mo's breathing was deep and shallow, Jiang Yuming knew that this woman was crying.

So I don't talk anymore.

An invisible thread fluttered gently in this silence, Xia Mo pulled it, Jiang Yuming hurt, Jiang Yuming pulled it, Xia Mo couldn't breathe.

"Jiang Yuming, please sing me a song." Seeing that she was almost downstairs, Xia Mo took out some change and said to the silent phone.

"What do you want to hear?" The man was still there, Xia Mo felt at ease.

"Sing to wish you a happy birthday." The taxi stopped downstairs, and Xia Mo handed over the money and hurriedly escaped from the carriage filled with Sansu music.

Picking up the steps step by step, Xia Mo heard Jiang Yuming humming softly on the phone.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happiness and health to you, bright future to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happiness and health, and a warm family."

"Can I have a warm family?" Xia Mo asked after Jiang Yuming finished singing.

"Yeah." Jiang Yuming's scale trembled.

Xia Mo's heart tightened, she didn't pay attention to her feet, she almost missed the steps, and there was a sharp pain in her ankle.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yuming asked when he heard Xia Mo moaning.

"It's okay, I just feel that you, a fairy, are not allowed. How can I have a perfect family like this?" Xia Mo covered her feet, not wanting to end the call with Jiang Yuming, so she could only sit on the steps and look at the stairs.

Jiang Yuming did not refute, and Xia Mo stopped talking.

The two of them held up the phone in such a quiet way.

"I know, because this warm and happy family is what I must give you."

Jiang Yuming's firm voice came from the phone, and there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs. Xia Mo held up the phone and looked up the stairs.

Jiang Yuming was wearing home clothes and standing high behind him holding the phone, without smiling or serious, his expression was as simple as saying something insignificant.
