Stay Safe

"If I'm here, anyway... I can get closer to her."

Hearing Xiao Jin's answer, Qi Yin didn't show any surprise. She and Xiao Jin have known each other for so long and know that she has deep affection for that person. It is not surprising what kind of decision she makes for her.

Qi Yin pressed the cigarette **** into the ashtray, the smoke in the air dissipated like a gauze, Xiao Jin swallowed, and then he felt a little better in his throat.

Qi Yin then took out a beautifully packaged small box from her bag, pressed it with an index finger, pushed it from one end of the coffee table to the other, and said, "Happy birthday, a birthday present that's a few days late."

"Thank you." Xiao Jin opened the box, it was a pair of earrings, and smiled.

"Wait a minute." Qi Yin then dragged her suitcase over, opened it, spread it on the ground, and began to dig out from the inside. One box after another is placed on the ground. There are a dozen or twenty boxes. Fortunately, the size is not large and does not take up much space in the suitcase.

Xiao Jin was surprised: "This is..."

Qi Yin tugged her hair that was covering her sight, tucked it behind her ear, and complained, "What else could it be? Isn't your birthday here this year? They heard that I was on a business trip in China, so they asked me to bring you a gift. I asked them to send a courier and said they didn't know your address. If you don't know, you don't know. You don't lack this gift. I really can't make it up when I go back to the United States next time. Hey, I shouldn't tell them that I'm going on a business trip. Find guilt for yourself."

Qiyin speaks Chinese very well, but he speaks too much and too quickly at one time, and he can still hear a slight difference from the Chinese. His tone is flat, and his words are too hard.

Xiao Jin laughed when she heard it. She scooped up the gift with one hand, squatted on the ground and began to unwrap it: "Thank you for your hard work, human flesh consignment machine."

Seeing her happy, Qi Yin put away the tone of pretending to complain, and grinned.

Qi Yin helped her remove it, looked up at her, and asked, "Have you had a headache recently?"

Xiao Jin replied in a normal tone: "It hurts, but it's not very frequent, it's nothing serious."

Qi Yin snorted, getting used to it.

Gifts large and small were unpacked, jewelry, perfume, small ornaments, etc. Most of Xiao Jin's friends have a good eye. The birthday gifts they send every year are unique and varied.

Xiao Jin put things away in the study, cloakroom, and bedroom, and checked the guest room that Qi Yin had cleaned up.

Qi Yin made a phone call on the balcony with her arms folded. The company heard that her flight was arriving today and wanted to pick up the air for her. Qi Yin refused because of personal affairs and changed the time to tomorrow.

At five o'clock in the evening, Qi Yin took a shower and changed her clothes. She wore a white shirt and slim trousers. She blew it with a hair dryer, revealing a smooth and full forehead and deeper eyebrows than ordinary people.

She took a black purse in one hand, turned around in front of Xiao Jin, raised her eyebrows at her, and her features were cold.

Xiao Jin nodded and commented: "Yes, it's radiant."

Qi Yin smiled confidently.

When the two went out, they went to a restaurant for dinner, chatted until eight o'clock while eating, and then turned to the bar.

Xiao Jin is very familiar with the bar street in Lincheng. Qi Yin has only been here a few times, and since she has been to many places, she follows her honestly, and looks at the surrounding environment from time to time. Small talk.

"There are quite a few trees here."

"You said that a few years ago."

"Really?" Qi Yin smiled.

"Yes, yes." Xiao Jin looked back at her.

Finally stopped in front of a bar called Zero, Qi Yin looked at the sign outside the door, frowned and said, "Gay?"

"..." Xiao Jin pulled her wrist, "Les, let's go in."

Qiyin, like her sexuality, is curvy.

"It doesn't seem like this name came back last time."

"If the tree can't remember it, the bar will remember it." Xiao Jin yelled at her.

Qi Yin laughed happily: "Hahahaha."

The two walked in side by side, Xiao Jin didn't look sideways, Qi Yin's eyes fluttered around, and the curvature of her lips rose significantly. After walking a few steps, she approached Xiao Jin and whispered with satisfaction, "I like this bar, the quality is very high. "

Xiao Jin said calmly, "I know you like it."

The lights in the bar were dimmed, and soothing light music was playing. In the center of the dance floor, there were a couple of women who swayed gently to the music. The bar and booths are full of exuberant female hormones.

What Qi Yin said was not that the bar itself was of high quality, but that the quality of the people here was high. The little beauties were all over the place, and there were some big beauties to choose from, and one night, there was time for her to choose slowly.

She led Qi Yin to the semicircular sofa and ordered two mojitos.

The two outstanding-looking women have been stared at by many eyes from the moment they entered, and now they are seated, the people who are about to move come up. A mature-looking woman came over with a wine glass and said directly to the waiter, "These two wines are on my account."

The waiter was not surprised, and seemed to know that person, and he went downhill like a good man.

Qi Yin's red lips evoked a smile, and her eyes slid to the other side with great interest.

The woman is very beautiful, charming in her maturity, and her exquisite figure is wrapped under a black tight skirt, which outlines an almost perfect curve.

The woman looked at Xiao and Qi, and seemed to be asking something. Xiao Jin said, "I came with her."

The woman chuckled and sat beside Qi Yin.

The two chatted in a low voice, frowning.

Xiao Jin was leaning on the sofa, holding a glass of wine and sipping the wine lightly, without looking at the two in front of her, there was a kissing tut beside her ears.

Xiao Jin glanced around, the woman sat on Qi Yin's lap, Qi Yin was hugging her and kissing her, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, this time too fast, right? I thought I was going to spend the night with Qi Yin.

The voice stopped, Qi Yin maintained this posture, and continued chatting with the other party, not knowing what to say, the woman kept laughing, the laughter was as crisp as a silver bell.

After a while, the woman stood up, glanced at Xiao Jin, lowered her head and kissed Qi Yin's lips, and pressed her forehead against hers, saying affectionately, "I'll come back later."

Qi Yin reluctantly deepened the kiss, squeezed his hand frivolously on the other's hip, and the woman gave her a half-annoyed, half-annoyed look and walked away.

Xiao Jin turned around.

Xiao Jin said, "Have an appointment?"

"Yeah." Qi Yin took a sip of wine and looked very satisfied.

Qi Yin is too busy with work and has no time to fall in love, and she has no intention of falling in love, but she has to solve basic physical needs, relieve the tense work pressure by the way, and often come out foronenight to relax.

Speaking of getting acquainted with Xiao Jin, it is both inevitable and unexpected. They are in different colleges of the same university, not far from each other. Xiao Jin is very popular in their college. In addition to the professors who like her very much, her classmates also like her good personality, plus her good looks, her reputation has spread to the neighborhood. In the Academy, many people pursued her, although they all failed without exception.

Qi Yin had heard of it, but she liked waves at that time, so naturally she didn't have any idea of ​​picking the flowers of the high mountains. I met him twice in the library by chance, and Qi Yin said with emotion that he looks really good, but that's all, he really made friends because he was in a bar. Qi Yin went to hunt for beauty, Xiao Jin and a group of friends were drinking, they were all drinking, but she was drinking very differently, I can't say what the difference was, but Qi Yin just thought it was very attractive, and she sat down with people. Chatted for days.

After chatting, she found that the other party was very chatty and quite interesting. She moved her mind a little, trying to turn Xiao Jin onto her bed, but she was seen through by the other party early, and the embarrassment between them was subtly resolved.

In addition to the chaos in his private life, Qi Yin's grades are very good. In addition to his majors, he also likes to read miscellaneous books. At that time, Xiao Jin had a dissertation to write, which required a lot of knowledge. It happened that Qi Yin knew it very well. In one direction, it saved her a lot of time and effort, and she became familiar with each other after going back and forth. Coupled with similar interests, she became friends naturally.

Xiao Jin pouted in the direction where the woman left, and said, "Then why don't you go? Don't let the beauty run away for a while."

Qi Yin snorted softly: "When did the one I like run away? Let's drink with you first, the night is still long, don't worry."

After that, a few more women came one after another, but Qi Yin refused. She had already found her goal tonight and would not waver anymore. The visitor turned his attention to Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin and the other party lightly touched the cups, and said with a smile, "I'm a couple with her, I'm sorry." He raised his finger and pointed at Qiyin.

Qi Yin immediately cooperated and said, "Yes."

The people who came went away sadly.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, Shi Shiran, the woman who had just made an appointment with Qi Yin, came over. Qi Yin glanced at Xiao Jin, stood up and put his arms around the woman's shoulder. Almost on fire.

Qi Yin said, "I'm leaving."

Xiao Jin waved his hand out and said with a smile, "Go."

Shortly after Qi Yin left, Xiao Jin went out of the bar, called a chauffeur to drive the car home, and went upstairs to take a shower and sleep.

All night long.

Qi Yin took a shower in the bathroom of the hotel room. When she came out, the woman on the bed was already awake, with half of her white shoulders exposed, one hand resting on her chin lazily, and she looked at her with a charming smile. .

"Are you leaving?" Her tone was sultry, clearly reluctant.

"Yeah." Qi Yin's soft tone seemed to be hooked. She picked up the scattered clothes, turned her back to the woman and took off her bathrobe, revealing her slender and perfect limbs.

The woman looked at the light red marks on her back and swallowed.

"Do you mind telling me your name? Maybe there's a chance next time?" Last night was so fun that he even wanted to maintain a relationship for a while longer.

After Qi Yin got dressed, she turned around with a smile on her face and answered her slowly, "Do you mind."

woman:"…"

Qi Yin opened the door and went out.

She doesn't date the same person a second time, she needs freshness, and now this person is gone.

There was still remnants of alcohol on his clothes, Qi Yin lowered his head and sniffed, shook his hands in disgust, stopped a taxi on the side of the road, sat in, and reported the address of the community where Xiao Jin lived.

She raised her hand and glanced at her watch. At eight o'clock in the morning, Xiao Jin told her to go out at nine in the morning, and she had time to go back.

Qi Yin didn't record the fingerprints of Xiao Jin's house for a while, and she couldn't enter the house if she went back late, so she walked in hastily after getting out of the car, until a person suddenly appeared in her field of vision.

It was a woman in her mid-twenties, tall, at least 175, with long light chestnut hair just reaching her collarbone, amazingly beautiful eyebrows, and a lemon-yellow mid-length skirt that tucked her waist to show off her beautiful figure. , lining the exposed complexion more and more white.

She was holding the woven white handbag in one hand and the phone in the other. The carefully depicted willow leaf eyebrows were slightly twisted, as if she was troubled by something.

Wooden Pillow Creek.

Qi Yin read the other person's name in her mind.

Then a question arises, why is she here? Are you looking for Xiao Jin?

"I just went out, and I'll be at the company soon. I'll take a look at it myself later." Muzhenxi noticed a line of sight, raised his eyes and glanced at the place where the line of sight came from. It was a strange woman, obviously mixed blood, who was staring intently. stare at her.

Wooden pillow brook is accustomed to this kind of gaze, and passed by each other without looking sideways.

Qi Yin looked back at her back until the other party disappeared.

Qi Yin blinked twice, and thoughtfully took a few steps towards home. The phone in her pocket rang. It was Xiao Jin, and she was probably urging her to hurry back. She connected, replied that she would be there soon, and quickened her pace.

"Breakfast is in the kitchen, remember to eat it yourself." Xiao Jin was waiting for her in the living room, and as soon as she came in, he planned to go out.

"Wait a minute." Qi Yin looked at the coffee table, there was no sign that she had entertained any guests, she asked, "Did Wooden Pillow Stream come to see you?"

Xiao Jin was stunned for a moment, and said, "No." Muzhenxi wished that she would never get along with her, so how could he come to her.

Seeing her blank expression, Qi Yin followed her blankly. She pointed to the bay window in the living room and said, "I just saw her at the gate of the community."

Xiao Jin's eyes widened: "What did you say?"

Qi Yin repeated: "I just met her at the gate of the community, and I heard her call and say that she has just gone out and will be at the company soon."

Xiao Jin frowned: "Are you admitting the wrong person?"

Qi Yin: "No, it's not like I haven't seen her before. Besides, with her height and appearance, how could she easily admit her mistake."

Xiao Jin stopped talking and fell into deep thought.

Qi Yin saw that she didn't respond for a long time and went to have breakfast.

Xiao Jin only thought of one possibility, Muzhenxi moved to the same community as she moved. She knew the name of Muxianxi's new company, and immediately searched it with the navigation, and walked past the gate of the community in less than ten minutes.

Xiao Jin doesn't know what expression he should make now. Are you happy? What if she was found here by Muxianxi and the other party moved again? It is impossible to be unhappy.

Being in the same city has made her dare not ask for more, not to mention that she is in the same community now, she gently bit her lower lip, shouldn't she be in the same building?

Then denied the idea, it shouldn't be so coincidental.

Xiao Jin turned back and asked Qi Yin, who was sitting at the dining table, "Did you see her walking to the door from which direction?"

Qi Yin recalled: "The road to the left from the entrance of the community."

Xiao Jinxin said: That's okay, she lives on the right side, so the chance of encountering her is even less.

Qi Yin came over with her dinner plate. Seeing her expression, she was sometimes troubled and sometimes happy. She was easily swayed by the little episode in the morning. She sighed that she was helpless, and sighed, "Aren't you going to school? You're going to be late."

Xiao Jin woke up like a dream, and hurriedly changed his shoes and went out.

She was in a good mood all day, so that the female colleagues who ate together frequently looked at her strangely, and Xiao Jin restrained her smile.

She re-read her class schedule. There are classes on Tuesday and Friday afternoons, but they are all over at four o'clock. Wooden pillow Brook normally gets off work at 5:30 and often works overtime, but only rarely gets off work on time. If I get home before 5:30, I won't meet her.

"How's it going in your new home?" Yin Xiaoli called Muxianxi during her lunch break to express her concern.

"It's good." Muzhenxi held the mobile phone in one hand and the fork in the other hand, eating the fruit in the fork plate.

"How about working in the new company?"

"It's pretty good too. I've been at work for so long, so are you asking now?"

"Just ask a question." Yin Xiaoli said boredly, lying on the table.

"I think you're just boring."

"You heard it."

"You're bored, I have something to do, I'll go back to work overtime."

"What overtime work at noon?"

"Life lies in overtime." Wooden pillow Brook took the last bite of the fruit and stood up.

Yin Xiaoli listened to the busy voice on the phone, and since Muxianxi moved, she has completely changed from a workaholic to a workaholic. Whenever she talks to her, she will either say she is working overtime, or she will go in less than five sentences. work overtime.

During the lunch break, my colleagues in the office fell asleep, only the computer in front of Wooden Pillow Creek was still on, just like the engrossed person sitting in front of it, tireless.

In the blink of an eye, a rare year-long holiday - National Day.

Schools are on vacation, and so are companies.

Xiao Jin was the host, and took Qiyin to the next city to play for a few days, and then returned home. Wooden pillow Creek worked five days in the company, and on the sixth day, he was ordered to rest and returned home by the director.

The day she came back was the last day of her long vacation. Qi Yin felt that Xiao Jin was in a low mood and went back to her room very early.

She smoked two cigarettes on the balcony and went back to the guest room herself.

Xiao Jin bent down, opened the safe in his bedroom, and took out everything inside like every night.

A photo album, and a wooden box with odds and ends.

She opened the photo album, and it was filled with photos of Wooden Pillow Creek. Most of them were taken in high school. They were taken by her mobile phone. The mobile phone card was cancelled, and the photo album was also deleted. Fortunately, it could be restored. Later, it was washed out. The pixels are a bit blurry, but Xiao Jin's memory and eyes can fill in the details and context of each photo. When the photo is turned to the back, it gradually appears clear, but most of the faces are profiled, and it looks like a candid shot. From the age of twenty-four, intermittently to twenty-six, twenty-seven, and twenty-eight, this album spans across After more than ten years, I have witnessed the maturity of Wooden Sleeper Stream from innocence to maturity.

Xiao Jin placed his hand on the top of the wooden box, rubbed his palm twice, but finally did not open it, but put it back together with the album. She had her back against the bed, her hands on her knees, and she stared blankly for a long time with her eyes open.

dong dong.

Unison knocked on the door.

Xiao Jin moved his numb joints and got up to open the door: "What's wrong?"

Qi Yin held a glass of milk in her hand and raised her eyebrows at her.

Xiao Jin took it over: "Thank you."

Said to close the door.

Qi Yin raised her hand and pressed it on the door: "Do you need to chat for a while?"

Xiao Jin shook his head.

Qi Yin let go.

The door closed in front of her.

Qi Yin did not leave, but stood at the door for a while.

The door opened again, Xiao Jin came out with an undrinked milk glass, stared at her still, and Qi Yin hooked the corner of her lips.

Five minutes later, the bay window was filled with wine.

Xiao Jin skillfully opened a can, raised his head and drank it, leaned his head against the wall, looked at the neon outside the window, looked into the distance, and after a while, said, "I'm going to find her tomorrow."

Qi Yin smoked slowly and smiled confidently: "I guessed it. Every time you look like this, it's for her." She glanced down at the empty can, "Drink less."

"You smoke less." Xiao Jin said.

Qi Yin smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "Okay, then you can continue drinking."

Neither of the two could convince the other.

Xiao Jin restrained and only drank three cans. She didn't want to have a hangover at night and get a headache. She had to go to see Muzhenxi tomorrow.

She has been procrastinating on this matter for a long time. Wooden pillow stream is escaping, she is not escaping, but the episode of amnesia is added, which makes her see the truth of the cloud cover in the past more clearly.

She and a teacher at the school changed classes in advance, freeing up the whole day.

October 8th, the first working day after the long holiday.

Xiao Jin got up early, put on delicate light makeup, picked out the best looking long dress in the closet and put it on, and looked in the mirror for a long time, not knowing whether she was looking at herself in the mirror or looking through the mirror. Look at an uncertain future.

Eat breakfast calmly, go out calmly, drive calmly, and go downstairs in the company of Wooden Sleeper Creek. She prepared a new mobile phone, and her hands began to shake uncontrollably when she pressed the well-known number.

Wooden pillow stream was holding a meeting for the team members, and the mobile phone on the table buzzed, it was an unfamiliar number. She pressed the mute button and went out to connect. She didn't speak, waiting for the first sentence over there.

Xiao Jin said, "It's me."

Mu Zhenxi's face changed suddenly, and he wanted to hang up the phone, but he had already said in advance, "Don't hang up yet."

Wooden Pillow Creek hesitated for a second, then said coldly, "Is there something wrong?"

Xiao Jin said, "I have something to tell you about the past."

Wooden pillow brook said decisively, "I don't want to hear it."

She pressed the hang up button hard, her chest heaving violently.

Then the phone vibrated, and a text message entered, still the unfamiliar number: [I remember everything, including the truth about why I went abroad, I just want to sit down with you and have a good talk]

In order to prevent the blacklist from being received, Xiao Jin was short of breath, and quickly pasted and sent the edited text message.

When she was with Wooden Pillow Creek, Wooden Pillow Creek knew that she liked to listen to nice words, and once clumsily wrote love poems to her, the first poem was only three lines, she solemnly wrote: "There are two suns in my life, One is you and the other is grandma."

At that time, Xiao Jin deliberately teased her with a straight face: "Which sun is brighter between me and your grandmother?"

Wooden pillow brook said, "you are different from grandma."

Xiao Jin insisted: "Then do you prefer grandma or me?"

Wooden Pillow Creek couldn't answer, so Xiao Jin put his arms around her and kissed her ear until the other party had nowhere to hide, and her ears were red and she said the answer she wanted.

Xiao Jin laughed.

But the two suns fell from her sky one after another.

Xiao Jin raised his hand and pressed his warm eyelids.

Ten years ago, it was her impulsive breakup that she mentioned first, she made the wooden pillow stream roll, and she left without saying goodbye, which became an indelible shadow in her life.

She has the responsibility and obligation to give Wooden Sleeper Creek an account.

Even if you can't become her sun again, you must remove the haze from her heart with your own hands.
