It’s Colder Today

Looking at the clouds in the sky, the glow is shining.

The afterglow was still dazzling, but it only lasted a few minutes.

He got off the highway at the nearest intersection and speeded all the way to the depot.

He took the keys to the modified motorcycle from Cheng Ge.

He went to the racing track and ran lap after lap, smelling the smell of burnt tires in the air and feeling the sudden wind on his side when the accelerator was turned down.

Some people say that this feeling is the feeling of chasing the soul.

He suddenly understood that what he wanted was a lover who would choose him to love him unconditionally and stand by his side.

He does not allow betrayal, and he cannot change for others. In the end, he finds that this person can only be himself.

He spends his days either staying in a nearby hotel or running laps on the racing track.

The time difference is reversed every day, the mobile phone is turned off and silent, no one's calls are answered, no one's messages are answered.

There is a convenience store next to the racing track. The convenience store's main service targets are residents in the suburbs behind who have not waited for demolition, as well as workers in nearby factories.

Wei Congying picked up a dozen beers from the shelf, lowered his head to open the payment code on his mobile phone, and said his name for the cigarettes. He put the beer in his hand on the cashier and waited until he saw no cigarettes were brought over. He looked up and found that he was not the same boss he had seen a few days ago.

Standing at the checkout counter was a girl who was younger than him. She looked at him blankly, as if she didn't know which pack of cigarettes Wei Congying was talking about.

Wearing a high school uniform, he probably came to help look at the store for a while during the weekend break. The childish look is still on her face, and she doesn't wear makeup, so she looks younger.

Wei Zongying pointed to the cigarettes on the shelf behind her: "The second column from the right, the one below...the one below."

The shelf was quite high. Wei Zongying saw her stand up on tiptoes and take down the cigarette case: "How many packs do you want?"

Wei Zongying turned the phone back on with the screen darkened, and raised his hand to make a gesture.

"A total of seventy-one dollars and six."

Wei Congying turned the phone screen to her.

She pointed to the QR code posted on the checkout counter and continued: "Scan it and I'll give you seventy-one."

There is a plastic heat-insulating curtain hanging at the entrance of the convenience store. The heat-insulating curtain looks a bit old. Because in summer the curtains are moved to the side and tied together with a rope. But I guess I will put it down in two days, after all, winter comes early in the capital.

The warm autumn season has passed, and winter may come earlier in the capital this year. The camphor trees planted along the road not far away had an astonishing amount of fallen leaves, and some leaves had turned red and yellow, hanging precariously on the branches.

The beer in my hand is still a bit heavy, so I still hold it with one hand. I open the lid of the cigarette box with my other hand, push up a cigarette with my thumb, and then hold it in my mouth. Throw the cigarette case back into your pants pocket and take out the lighter.

The wind was blowing, and he had no spare hands to shield the lighter from the wind. Gan simply turned his back to the direction of the wind. There might be no oil in the lighter, so he fired it several times before he succeeded.

White smoke flowed from the corner of his mouth. He looked up and saw the little girl coming out of the convenience store.

She was holding a plastic bag and a lighter.

After seeing Wei Congying light up the cigarette, he ran back to the store.

It looks pretty funny like that.

Make a few holes in the plastic film wrapped around the eight cans of beer so that it is easy to carry. I walked lazily towards the hotel. It was already four o'clock when I left the racing track last night.

Early this morning, he was woken up by the sound of the main palace catching a mistress in the corridor. After being woken up, he couldn't fall asleep for any reason. He went downstairs to have breakfast. It didn't matter if he didn't taste the food. He was killed before he finished eating. Stomach pain.

When he walked back to the hotel door, he hadn't finished smoking the cigarette in his hand. He stood under the camphor tree with fallen leaves and looked up at the hotel with a no-smoking sign in the lobby.

It doesn't look good, and looks shabby from the outside.

There are only two people working at the front desk, working shifts in the morning and evening.

Wei Congying actually met the person on the night shift more often, but she couldn't remember what the person on the night shift looked like, because every time he came back from the racing track, she would lie down at the front desk sleeping, leaving Wei Congying with the same top of head.

I'm almost finished smoking.

A leaf fell on his sleeve. He looked at the yellow leaves and raised his hand to brush the leaf away with his cigarette hand. The ash fell on his black sleeve. The jacket was made of waterproof material and did not stick to ash. When the next gust of wind came, The gray-white soot also disappeared.

As the cigarette burned, he slowly collected the ashes on the end of the cigarette.

Looking at the fragile ash in boredom, he wondered how long the ash would last. As soon as he finished thinking, Wei Congying heard a whistle, his hand shook, and the ash fell.

-

It was Jiang Xuyang who first saw Wei Congying standing on the roadside.

Lin Fang didn't worry about being rear-ended by the car behind him when he stepped on the brakes. He turned on the turn signal, parked the car on the side of the road, and then honked the car horn in frustration.

It's a pity that he was not frightened in any way.

Wei Zongying turned around and found that it was them, and there was not much joy on his face.

His eyes looked past the two people who were asking questions and landed on Shi Yun who had just gotten out of the car, moving slowly from the back row.

She still felt a little confused about being outside the incident. After looking around, he slowly pulled up the knitted jacket that had fallen off his shoulders.

Lin Fang's words that never changed over and over again, Wei Cong should still ignore them and pretend to be deaf and dumb.
