The Boyfriend Who I’ve Never Met

After late autumn, winter comes.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the pedestrians wearing heavy clothes coming and going on the road can be regarded as a unique scenery called "bloated" in winter.

Just as for summer, "coolness" is its unique scene.

Nanshi belongs to the south, and the first snow comes later than in the north.

But the first snow that Xie Tao was so longing for, it came after all.

Just Sunday.

When Xie Tao opened the curtains when she got up in the morning, she found the shallow ice flowers against the glass windows, and inches of fine snow were falling from the outside.

It should have snowed at night, and now a thin layer has been laid on the windowsill, eaves, and even the street lamps...

Xie Tao opened the window, and she was immediately hit by a biting wind, and she even sneezed in an instant.

But she rubbed her nose, but her lips curled up, her eyes filled with surprise.

At that time, Wei Yun, who was standing under the porch in a brocade suit and wearing a cloak, raised his eyes to see the snow falling from the sky like crushed salt, and there seemed to be a slight flicker in his cold eyes.

"When the first snow comes, can I watch the snow with you?"

The little girl's voice was soft and shy, and seemed full of expectation.

In a daze, he seemed to hear her voice again.

Reverberating around.

Right in the ear.

The pale sky and the inch of white snow on the eaves seem to be flowing gurglingly, flowing and blending together, forming a strong ink painting.

A piece of sky light with wind and snow fell again in this square and deep courtyard. Wei Yun watched for a while before calling out, "Wei Jing."

Wei Jing, who had been standing not far behind Wei Yun, listened, and immediately walked up with the sword in his arms and bowed and said, "My lord."

"Prepare the horse and go to Canghe Mountain." Wei Yun tilted his head to look at him and said.

"My lord why..."

Wei Jing was puzzled for a while, but when he opened his mouth, he was silent again, and immediately arched his hands, "Yes."

This was the only time Wei Yun rode a horse out two years after coming to Yingdu.

On such a cold day, there are very few pedestrians on the long street, so the sound of horseshoes on the corners and alleys is particularly audible.

Occasionally, an ordinary woman upstairs yawned and opened the window. Amidst the sound of horse hooves, she saw a black figure passing by.

Even if it was just a hurried back, he could only catch a glimpse of his dark long hair blown by the wind, and the fluttering jade hair band, which attracted many people to lean to look around.

At this moment, Xie Tao had already got on the bus.

She was wearing a thick sweater, a long woolen coat, and a red wool scarf.

Such a thick circle of red scarf around her neck makes her fair skin and a small, clear face.

Outside the urban area of ​​Nanshi, there is an inkstone mountain, which is a famous and excellent sightseeing spot in Nanshi.

There are farms and wineries above.

There are wonderful scenery all year round, clouds and mountains, mist, smoky waves and green colors, a beautiful scene, always attracting many tourists to go up the mountain.

Only in winter, there are not many people there.

While riding in the car, Xie Tao received a call from Xie Lan, and the teenager on the other end looked a little irritable.

"Sister Taotao, where are you? Your brother Lan knocked on your door for a long time and you didn't answer!"

Xie Tao didn't know that Xie Lan went to her house to find her.

She quickly replied: "Sorry Xie Lan, I have something wrong, I came out..."

Xie Lan wondered: "What's the matter? I'm here to tell you to eat beef hot pot! If you miss it, you won't have it! It's rare for Lao Xi to show mercy and let me invite you to dinner."

Xie Tao quickly apologized, "I'm sorry...I really have something to do today."

Xie Lan was about to cry, "Do you know that your refusal made me lose another opportunity to eat meat!!"

"...Next time I'll make it up for you." Xie Tao whispered.

"It's best!"

Xie Lan snorted and hung up the phone unhappy.

After Xie Tao arrived at the station, she followed the paved stone steps and walked up the mountain step by step with her backpack on her back.

She has been here with Su Linghua before.

Just two days after they first arrived in Nanshi.

Mother took her by the hand and took her up step by step. The stone steps were long, as if there was no end.

Xie Tao was very young at that time. She took her mother's hand, looked at her mother's expressionless face, looked at her gloomy and dead eyes, and dared not say anything.

At that time, my mother would always repeat this sentence in front of her:

"Taotao, from now on, you will no longer have a father, you only have me, you only have me, do you know?"

She was always talking and she started wiping tears.

Xie Tao knew that from the time when she was forced to choose between her derailed father and her mother who was on the verge of collapse, from the time her father Xie Zhengyuan disappeared at the end of the bluestone road in Qizhen, she There is only mother.

At that time, at a young age, Xie Tao's sky was missing a corner.

It was a silhouette blurred from the back of his father when he turned around. It was a jigsaw puzzle that could never be put together.

Perhaps it was because her mother had said so much in her ears, Xie Tao, who was only a few years old, instinctively grasped her mother's hand, that was her instinct dependence on her mother.

But later, her mother gradually tore the missing corner, forming a big hole.

So all the wind, frost, rain and snow poured in fiercely.

Nanshi was the beginning of her and her mother's dependence on each other, and it was also the source of her nightmare.

A mother who had loved her so deeply, eventually became the one who accurately placed every cut on her heart.

Xie Tao remembers how well she was, remembering all the hardships she had suffered for herself, but she also remembered the harm she had done to herself.

That is the deep despair that has accumulated over the years.

So that New Year's Eve, she finally realized that in this world, her mother can have a new husband and a new home, but that will never be Xie Tao's home.

Xie Tao...has no home for a long time.

She made a decision on the night she came out of the Zheng family, and in the next half of her life, no matter how hard it is, she will never look back.

On this day, she returned to this Yanshan Mountain.

Everything here seems to have not changed. It is just a little more thin snow than the summer in the memory, but the green branches and leaves and grass have added a little more withered yellow.

The difference is that she came here with her mother.

But now, she is alone.

Maybe, there is nothing wrong with it.

Finally climbed halfway up the mountain, Xie Tao saw a stone pavilion located there at a glance.

The eaves were covered with layers of thin snow, and there was only a gust of wind blowing over her cheeks and ears, blowing the tip of her nose red.

Xie Tao walked over and sat down on the stone bench.

Because she is coming here, she dresses a little thicker than usual.

After walking for so long, she felt hot and tired for a while.

She sat on the stone bench and rested for a while, then quickly took out her mobile phone from her bag, clicked on the WeChat video call, and then supported the mobile phone with a small bracket.

But within a few seconds, Wei Yun appeared on the screen of her mobile phone.

"Wei Yun!"

Xie Tao was taking the thermos cup out of her schoolbag, and she saw the jade-like face that appeared on the screen of the phone just before she unscrewed the lid and had no time to take a sip of hot water.

Wei Yun is now in the stone pavilion of Canghe Mountain. In front of him is a small green stove prepared for him by Weibo who came in a carriage. There is a pot of fine smokeless charcoal burning in it. Hot tea.

There are also a few small and exquisite pastries next to them, with different colors, but it is a rare embellishment in this snowy color.

Seeing that the scene behind her was strange, Wei Yun frowned, "Where are you?"

"On the Yanshan Mountain in Nanshi, I specially came here to see the snow!" Xie Tao took a sip of hot water and said with a smile.

She seemed to be very happy.

He even stood up with his mobile phone, walked to the guardrail on the side of the road, and pointed the screen at the foot of a winding mountain, where most of the city of Nanshi can be seen.

"Did you see Wei Yun! Isn't it beautiful!"

Wei Yun stared at the light curtain on the copper pendant. There was no girl in the picture. There was only a green mountain covered with thin snow, and the city underneath that was hazy in a fog.

The skies were filled with fine snow, like petals falling silently, forming a vast and dust-free scene in the fog and color of the mountains.

At this time, Xie Tao took back the phone, pointed the screen of the phone at herself, and walked back to the stone pavilion.

"Where are you?" She could see a mottled rocky cliff behind him.

Wei Yun had to stretch out his hand to aim the copper pendant at the outside of the stone pavilion.

"Are you out there too?" Xie Tao asked in surprise.

Wei Yun retracted his hand and looked down at the girl whose nose was red from the cold in the light curtain. At last, there was a bit of warmth in the eyes of the two-way cooling.

He said, "It wasn't you who said it depends on the snow?"

If you just sit in the courtyard of the mansion and watch such a snow with her, it seems that something is always missing.

This snow.

Must be out to watch with her.

I don't know why, he thought so from the beginning.

And when Xie Tao heard these words, the heart in her chest seemed to be beating faster.

She pursed her lips, the corners of her mouth still raised a little.

At this time, Wei Jing and Wei Bo drove the carriage back to the distance, and they couldn't clearly understand the situation here.

"You said it's a cold day, why do adults come here to watch the snow all of a sudden?" Wei Bo stroked his gray beard.

Wei Jing shook his head.

He once couldn't see through the adult's mind, but now he can't see through it even more.

Wei Bo and Wei Jing were talking first, while Xie Tao on the other side was also talking to Wei Yun.

Most of them were talking about Xie Tao. Wei Yun always listened quietly. After she finished speaking, he would reply her a few words.

"Is your tea good?" Xie Tao asked him suddenly.

"It's acceptable." Wei Yun replied briefly.

"I want to drink too..." Xie Tao looked at her blankly.

Wei Yun paused, "Unfortunately, it couldn't be delivered to you in time."

After the last dressing incident, Xie Tao originally thought that she could be like Wei Yun without having to collect things through the courier cabinet. How did she know that, except for one occasion, she still had to go to the courier cabinet downstairs properly. Take in.

"I don't know what's going on..." Xie Tao couldn't figure it out.

She thinks her mobile phone may have her own temper.

The two were talking like that.

Wei Yun drank tea, Xie Tao drank the hot water in the thermos, ate the snacks he brought out from home, and admired the snow scene in front of him.

later,

Sitting on the stone bench with her chin on for a while, Xie Tao looked at the young boy wearing a black cloak, golden crown and hair, and Xia Zi Yueyun on the screen of the phone. For a moment, her eyes couldn't tell why, and she suddenly felt a little sore.

The snow is getting bigger.

Countless snowflakes fell under the eaves, and there were bursts of wind in my ears.

Is she really alone?

From the night she was away from Zheng's house, she had already decided to live alone.

But at this moment, she looked at Wei Yun's face on the screen of the phone, and she thought again, it seemed that she was not the only one.

In this year, the luckiest thing she did was to meet him.

Even if it is separated by two time and space, she firmly believes that this is a kind of fortune in a million.

just……

It's just... between her and him, can this be the only way to go?

She could never walk in front of him, as if he could never really stand in front of her.

Between them, there is an insurmountable boundary of time and space like a chasm.

She couldn't touch him at all.

This may be regarded as the first date between two people, separated by the boundary of time and space, on two different mountains, in two different stone pavilions.

The only thing that doesn't change seems to be such a snow.

It is always white and flawless, without the slightest difference.

Across two different time and space, what they were looking at before their eyes might be the same snow.

The two of them remained silent, feeling a little bit more unspeakable in their hearts.

While he looked at his side, she also tilted her head to look at her side. In such an increasingly grand snow, separated by a boundary of time and space, they seemed to feel each other's existence.

It was as if they were sitting beside each other.

Suddenly,

A light curtain appeared in front of Xie Tao's eyes, and at the same time, it also appeared in front of Wei Yun's eyes.

now,

Through that light curtain, they clearly saw each other's faces.

Sometimes clear, sometimes fuzzy, like the waves of the lake that are difficult to determine.

Unclear what it was for, after a sudden consternation, Xie Tao's eyes were reddish, and two tears fell.

"Peach Peach,"

It was not the sound on the phone screen, but through such a light curtain that suddenly appeared, Xie Tao heard his gentle voice.

"Why are you crying?"

She heard him sigh softly, as if a little helpless and gentle.

Xie Tao looked at the cold white skin in the light curtain, the lip-color of the young man with soft long hair, her eyes fell on the lace of the cloak that was blown by the wind around his neck, and her lips trembled.

Many emotions that she deliberately put down and deliberately ignored came up at this moment.

Her voice was almost choked, trembling somewhat.

"I want to see you……"

Only four words made her emotional, and her cry was even worse.

"I really want to see you..."

No longer across such a mysterious light curtain, nor across the cold cell phone screen, she wanted to see him truly.

Even, hug him.

However, this seems to be a particularly difficult thing.

Once she just fell in love with him like that without warning, but she didn't know that there was such a long distance between them.

What a long distance this is.

I am afraid, it takes a lifetime to reach the end of the mountains and rivers.

Wei Yun listened to her cry, and his heart seemed to be pierced by a fine needle.

The countless emotions surging in my heart surged up like the searing waves of magma.

Wei Yun looked at the tearful girl in the light curtain in front of him, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

Suddenly, he stretched out his hand.

As if wanting to touch her face in the light curtain.

But when his fingers touched the light curtain, his fingertips seemed to burst into flames. In an instant, the light curtain was burnt and destroyed without any trace.

His fingers were slightly stiff, and he was momentarily startled.

Looking back, there was no trace of the astrolabe and light curtain on the copper pendant on the stone table.

The flakes of snowflakes that were blown into the pavilion by the cold wind fell on the copper pendant.

For a long time, he suddenly whispered softly.

"Why am I?"

"Peach..."
