Dragging his extremely tired body off the train, Li Xin quickly checked whether his belongings were fully carried, although thieves and the like were uncommon this year, but they still had to be careful.
"Exhale", she sighed, and a feeling of great victory rushed into her heart, secretly proud of her courage.
Not long after graduating from college, she persuaded her parents to come to this strange city, where her friends had already booked a shared house for her in advance, and as for the future, she had to arrange it herself.
After taking the key from her friend and passing on her ear with careful instructions and care, it was already dusk. She thanked her for staying overnight, and took advantage of the coming night to take the bus home.
She could have lived close to her friends and had a caretaker, but she stubbornly wanted to live alone, so she asked her friends to find an old suburban neighborhood. The room rate is indeed cheap, after all, it is a shared house, the price is good, it is quite suitable for her, a newcomer who seeks development from outside, but she has not seen the person who shares with her for a long time.
With her excellent study of professional knowledge during her time at school, she found a suitable job with almost no effort and quickly adapted to a new life. Earlier, she had also thought about living a dull life first, but the appearance of a person broke her mind.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line">1</h1>
The most exciting weekend for office workers came, controlled by the early biological clock, Li Xin could not sleep, simply got out of bed to brush his teeth and wash his face, returned to the bed to open the mobile phone to chase the drama. The ups and downs of the storyline, the handsome male protagonist, suddenly made her smile.
A sharp knock on the door came at an inopportune time. At first she didn't care, she had no relatives or friends here, and no one would come to visit.
As the knocks on the door continued, she pressed the pause button and reluctantly stepped out of the "screen" .
Just as the door was about to open, a sense of vigilance came to her mind, through the cat's eye, she saw a person standing outside with a large bag, because he was a little tall, so he couldn't see his face, but he could see from his dress that it was a man.
"Hello, can you open the door, I'm your roommate." His voice is a little hoarse, but it sounds very comfortable, standard Mandarin, not mixed with a little regional characteristics.
Immediately judging that Li Xin still opened the door, her roommate has a meter and eight tall, the skin on her face is even better than her own maintenance, the appearance is not particularly good-looking, but it is definitely much higher than most people, the eyebrows can slightly reveal his manly demeanor, and the eyes have a trace of sharpness and flawless purity.
"It turns out that you are the Li Yin on the agreement, and you are indeed a good-looking girl." He walked in and put his suitcase beside him.
It was originally a sweet compliment, but it was stifled by Li Xin.
"I said big brother, my name is pronounced '歆', not 'yin', make no mistake."
"Oh, oh, I see." His face was full of embarrassment.
"By the way, my name is Hua Lingyu." After moving things into his room, he probed out and said to Li Xin, who was sitting in the living room.
At the first meeting, the conversation between the two people ended here, there was no excessive communication and no mutual understanding, just after telling their names, they quickly closed the door and began to clean up their rooms. Until late at night, seeing that he did not seem to want to come out to chat, Li Xin shook his head and took some hot water back to his room. Roommates living together must at least get to know each other first, and everyone will think so.
In the days that followed, she hardly saw him at home.
After the two were at home one weekend, this was a session to get to know each other. Li Xin is an ordinary nine-to-five employee, while her roommate is a professional household in the evening shift, sleeping heavily during the day and hesitating at night. It's no wonder it's hard to see each other, it's dramatic, and it's also reasonable. The story is a bit ridiculous, but the reality is that the adult world is not passing by, and there will be occasional parallelism.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line">2</h1>
On the eve of her birthday, she was not good at making friends, she blocked out everyone she knew in the city, but unexpectedly missed Hua Lingyu, she wrote in the circle of friends: "I want to eat the birthday cake a day in advance and drink hot milk tea." And below it is accompanied by a picture full of youthful atmosphere. In a different place, she received blessings from her friends, and through these warmths, her daily work was much less, and she happily walked into the house.
When she was about to open her door with the key, she stayed where she was, and on her doorknob, there was a plastic package hanging from it, just looking at the decoration outside, she knew that it was a cake, and there was also a certain brand of milk tea, which was quite warm to the touch, and it was just sent! Thinking like this, there was no one else except Hua Lingyu. But how did he know?
At this time she thought that she did not seem to have blocked the roommate, he must have seen his circle of friends, bought these back before going to work, although he had to work the night shift, but the blessing was still delivered. Thinking of this, her uncool warmth returned to the high ground of sensuality.
She carefully placed it on the table like an explosives bag, only to see that in the bag was a small, exquisitely crafted card with the imperfect words "Happy Birthday to the lovely Li Yin", and it was difficult to think that it was from the hand of the person who did not know how to chat. In the evening, she sent him a message asking him not to eat breakfast the next day, Li Xin wanted to personally make a breakfast for him as a gift, the screen immediately responded, and the two people tacitly agreed.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line">3</h1>
One weekend vacation, Li Xin lazily lay on the sofa with a mask and opened a video with her friends, when it came to emotional issues, she obviously avoided hesitation, such a topic was sealed, the reason why she did not want to talk about it was because she had a past that she did not want to look back on.
In college, she also talked about a vigorous love like most people, but for various reasons, she ended up in a hurry. The city she left where she lived for twenty years is also inextricably linked to the affair.
Everyone wants to make a good life, so sometimes even if we don't want to, we will give up something that hinders our progress, or people, people we can't forget the occasional thought but can't face it anymore.
Chatting happily, Hua Lingyu came back from outside, saw her wearing pajamas, this dress posture, suddenly laughed, and ridiculed two sentences, Li Xin also took his ridicule for granted, gave him a blank eye and then continued the video.
"Ah! Are you living with a guy? When, you actually..." The first wave of ecstasy and excitement, Li Xin replied very calmly.
"No, he's my roommate, didn't I mention it to you?"
"I don't care what kind of relationship you have, you look at your age, it's almost time to find someone..."
Every time she talked about feelings, she hesitated and didn't want to say more, and the past that she couldn't let go of was the most difficult for her.
Hanging up the video, she glanced at Hua Lingyu, who was sorting out the collar in front of the mirror, and asked incomprehensibly: "Why do you want to tidy up your clothes when you come back?" Are you a perfectionist? He said that he changed his posture and cocked his legs, with a look of disgust.
"It's not that someone says boys should be more sophisticated."
On the joke, Li Xin really serves Hua Lingyu, no matter when she is unhappy, as long as she looks for him to relieve her boredom, she will instantly sweep away her troubles. Sometimes childishness comes, but it can still be resolved by the funny words of this lively big boy. Over time, no one knows whether there is a feeling of emotion, but the relationship between the two people is very close, but there is no breakthrough, and no one has mentioned it.
We are always confused by the present, stumbled over by the past, unwilling to untie the bandages that wrap around us, but not accepting the ridicule of those around us. Maybe everyone will eventually have a correct path, the kind that will be smooth sailing when embarking on it, and the kind that will be solved when encountering difficulties will be found sooner or later. But most people are always lost and lost their way on the way to find the entrance.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line">4</h1>
The most happy thing for these two young people is the weekend, when there is nothing to do, they can go out together, or turn on the air conditioner at noon in the hot sun, and sit in the living room to enjoy the relaxation brought by the TV series.
"Hey, why do you still like to watch an old drama like "A Kiss and a Promise of Love"?" Li Xin blinked his eyes, wondering why they were watching this drama almost as soon as they had time.
"You said that Naoki and Kotoko live under the same roof, and the two of them will not be unaware of each other's intentions." As soon as the words fell, Hua Lingyu turned around and straightened Li Xin's body, looking at her with a confused face, and his eyes immediately converged.
"Hey, what are you going to do?" Li Xin was frightened and stepped back, and casually took the pillow and passed.
Hua Lingyu laughed out loud, on the funny, he is really good at it. Li Xin on the side rolled his eyes and slowly sat back down, no one was a child, and everything in his heart was very clear. Hua Lingyu knows Li Xin's past, and Li Xin also knows his past, the two people have had a deep chat before, and they are half-know-it-all friends. They all come to seek survival, all have an imperfect past, and their personalities are a bit similar, if they can put aside all factors, they really have a sense of heaven and earth, but now, the words that can be described can only be to see each other and hate late.
All the seemingly ordinary beauty has not yet begun to be enjoyed, and suddenly disappears.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line">5</h1>
Hua Lingyu, moved away. To be precise, it disappeared, without any warning.
When Li Xin opened the door to her door, she was almost dumbfounded, leaving only the empty bed board, the cabinet table and the window sill, all cleaned dry and quiet, remembering that she had said to Hua Lingyu that she hated dirty men.
The unspeakable sense of loss made her cry, she held up the water cup for a long time, the more and more incomprehensible let her pick up the mobile phone from the table, the dazzling red exclamation point of the chat frame made her cold, she did not understand, why would she cry for a roommate who did not even say goodbye.
Adult sadness is always in the middle of the night, she cried for a long time, maybe she really thought that as long as it continues to develop, she can have love again. Why did the blow come so quickly just as she was about to pick up what she had already given up? She didn't understand, and no one understood for her.
In this bustling and crowded world, there will always be people coming and going, too many partings are too late to say goodbye, no reason, no trace; too many people never think about who to remember him, because living in the memories of others is not the purpose of anyone's survival.
Li Xin's crying, mostly because of his sudden departure, made her feel as if she had seen the love of the university, and the reluctance at that time appeared again, and almost the same plot was perfectly reproduced, making it difficult for her to let go.
For whatever reason, she didn't want to stay here anymore. After resigning, with the attitude of welcoming a new life, she came to the shared house and packed her bags.
On the eve of saying goodbye to the city, she suddenly received a call from her girlfriend in her hometown, adjusted her state, and pressed the answer button. After listening to the purpose of the call, she was surprised, and the joy that could not be hidden completely overshadowed the decadence of recent days.
There was a knock at the door, she opened the door in disbelief, the person on the other side only said a "I" word, she hugged the man in front of her tightly, what was in the past could not be taken care of, just come back, come back...
Being able to appear in this place is already the best answer.
"The object of your college days, he went to you..." the girlfriend said on the phone.
She didn't want any explanation, she just wanted to continue the frontier and continue the unfinished love, as for Hua Lingyu, Li Xin really wanted to thank him in person for not quitting...
There are many things that we regret, and let them dissipate and gradually forget about the sea of people, because we can't believe one thing.
The green mountains do not change, and the green water flows for a long time.
