The shimmering lost dusty summer

Chapter 11
"His flight at seven o'clock tonight, I'm going to pick him up with a group of fans." Xiao Jiang jumped up and down on his seat.

"Won't that be a lot of people?" Nuan Feng responded.

"No, no one knows when he will return and when the plane will fly. We got inside information. By the way, Nuanfeng, do you want to go together? Maybe get his autograph."

"No," Nuan Feng shook his head, "I have a date tonight."

"That Mr. Wu again?" Xiao Jiang fainted, "Nuanfeng, you are done. It seems that your life is that Mr. Wu except for work. There is no entertainment, no entertainment."

Xiao Jiang was thinking about it, and suddenly he said "Oops", and then he had a sad face: "It's over, I didn't save it, I did it for nothing, it's his fault." A series of foul words burst out.

The warm air has long been used to it, and he doesn't care. Looking at the numbers on the computer, he was in a daze.

is it today?came back?

She wanted to focus on the pile of watches, but after reading a few numbers, she couldn't concentrate. Her mind was full of the fact that Ding Yu came back tonight. The more she didn't think about it, the more upset she was. No way, she saw that the water in the cup was gone, so she stood up and went to the tea room to pour tea.

After pouring tea and coming back, when passing the front desk, I stopped in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows next to the front desk. Outside the window, I could see a huge poster on the roof of the opposite building, which was an advertisement for an international sports brand. There was a star on it, a white No. [-] jersey, Posing in a dribbling posture, the muscles of the whole body are extremely beautiful, and the eyes are focused on the front.

Ding Yu, Ding Yu, even if he hadn't appeared in front of her for ten years, he still kept emphasizing his existence in this way.

Nuan Feng held the teacup and looked at the poster, not moving for a long time.

For a while.

"Nuanfeng, you like Ding Yu too, can't you tell?" The front desk saw Nuanfeng not moving for a while, and came up to him and said, "He's so handsome, I'm sitting here, and I can see him in a blink of an eye, it's a crime Ah." The receptionist is a fresh graduate student, who has the same temper as Xiao Jiang, staring at the poster with starry eyes.

Nuan Feng came back to his senses, just smiled, turned and walked away.

When it was time to get off work, only a few watches were made. Nuanfeng looked at the time and thought to himself, should he cancel the appointment with Wu Qi? There are a few watches that must be handed in today, and he must work overtime.

Just as he was thinking, Xiao Jiang called over there: "What should I do? What should I do?"

Nuanfeng looked over: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Jiang jerked her mouth: "It's because I didn't save the one in the morning, and I have to redo it, and it's too late."

Nuanfeng looked at her expression, she was late yesterday and was caught by the boss, and she didn't see her in such a hurry, but now she seemed to want her life, then looked at the watch in his hand, thought for a while, and said to Xiaojiang: "I will watch for you Do it, you get off work first."

Xiao Jiang was startled, and immediately smiled, but thought of something, why: "You don't have a date either."

"I'll just call and cancel later."

"To make a watch for me? No way." Xiao Jiang frowned.

Nuanfeng smiled: "I also have unfinished watches, and I am about to call him." She said and raised her phone.

Xiao Jiang was still a little embarrassed, but it seemed that Ding Yu was more charming, so he twisted her for a while: "Well, then I will treat you to dinner next time."

Nuanfeng was a little funny: "When did you become so out of touch?"

Xiao Jiang scratched his head: "That's right," he said, picking up his bag, "I love you, I'm leaving." They went out.

Nuan Feng was the only person left in the office. She took out her mobile phone and directly dialed Wu Qi's number. Just as she was about to dial it, the phone rang first.

It's Wu Qi.

"Nanfeng, I'm sorry, I have a temporary meeting, so I can't come out."

Nuanfeng let out an "oh", thinking what a coincidence, and wanted to say that he happened to be working overtime too, but every time Wu Qi worked overtime, he didn't feel at ease to pick her up, and he didn't listen to her after saying it several times. .

After a few more words, the two hung up the phone.

Wu Qi hung up the phone and sighed with some regret. He had already booked a place to have dinner with Nuanfeng, but the temporary hospital informed him that he would hold a meeting, saying that the star Ding Yu would return to China tonight and be admitted to the hospital for an examination tomorrow. , so the hospital should organize an expert group.

In terms of academic qualifications, he is a top student in the medical school affiliated to University A, which is second to none in the city. After all, he has not been a doctor for a long time. In terms of qualifications, he is not an expert, but he is already well-known in the hospital because of several successful operations. So the hospital considers putting him in as well.

In fact, Wu Qi can't understand why Ding Yu returned to China to treat his legs. Generally speaking, the medical level abroad is far better than that in China. He is in the United States, so he can be treated locally. There is no need to go back to China for treatment. Neurosurgery doctors are used to dealing with difficult diseases of the brain and nerves. Now a group of experts come together to study and treat muscle and muscle damage. It is a waste of resources, but who said that people's legs are more expensive than anything else?
It seemed that he was busy at the back, so he stretched his waist, ready to go to the meeting.

At the back of the watch, Nuanfeng's eyes hurt, and after doing eye exercises several times, it still didn't help, and the accountant next door was working overtime, so she went to ask for a few biscuits, and then looked into the distance through the glass for a while, It was only a little bit better. After finishing the last form with great difficulty, the accountant next door also left, and she was the only one in the office.

Carry the bag, swipe the card, and leave the company.

There were several taxis parked under the company building, she chose the one closest to her and got on the taxi.

It was around 09:30. The road conditions were good. Except for the red light, there was basically no traffic jam. The window was slightly opened to let in the night breeze. I felt that my head, which was full of numbers, finally woke up. The car turned around and passed the city. When it was a famous food street, there were still people coming and going on the street. When she saw a certain Hong Kong-style tea restaurant, she thought she hadn't eaten yet, so she asked the driver to stop.

She had eaten at that tea restaurant once before. It tasted good and was not expensive. It was late anyway, so why not go back after eating here.

After getting out of the car and going to the opposite side of the road, Nuanfeng stood waiting for the red light to pass, a black POLO car drove by in front of her, turned and stopped at the door of the hotel behind her, and then screams erupted behind her .

When he got out of the car, Nuanfeng noticed that there seemed to be too many people at the door of the hotel, and he didn't pay much attention. Hearing the screams, he subconsciously turned his head to take a look.

They were all Ding Yu's posters, held high by the group of people, and then she heard their screaming name clearly: Ding Yu.

She couldn't react, she just looked at the scene that was about to lose control in front of her. At the same time, the polo door opened, and someone came out of the car, carrying a backpack, wearing sportswear, tall and tall, and a group of people rushed up, shouting: Ding Yu .

When she saw that face, something exploded in her mind, and then it went blank. She watched the man smile in the crowd, and entered the hotel while waving his hands.

A passer-by knocked her down and ran up to watch the excitement. She fell to the ground, her eyes still looking at that person until he walked into the hotel, until everyone was stopped outside the hotel and dispersed angrily.

Are cities really that small?Regardless of her worn-out knees, she thought, why did she let him see him as soon as he came back, or was it arranged by God to let her see him again at this time and this place?

Wu Qi also likes to watch basketball, but he is not considered a fan.

He has watched Ding Yu play. To be honest, he was surprised that an Asian has such a strong jumping ability, but from the doctor's point of view, this is a talent and a burden, especially as a basketball player who wins by jumping , the higher the jump and the more times, the greater the damage to the body, so Ding Yu's calf tendon injury is a matter of time.

Watching Ding Yu on TV, his height of 1.8 meters and [-] meters is too short among a group of NBA players who are more than [-] meters tall at every turn. I remember the reports he read before. Americans really don’t trust such a small Asian to join the NBA. He was underestimated, but Ding Yu won the first game and performed well in the next few games, so no one dared to underestimate him anymore.

Wu Qi did have the illusion that he was too short, but when he stood in front of him, he realized that he was actually tall.

Regarding Ding Yu's temper, Wu Qi thinks it's his ego, which may be a bit difficult. People who stay in the United States for a long time will become egotistical, and most celebrities are difficult to deal with.

However, when I saw Ding Yu, I realized that he actually had very little truth. Most of the time, he would cooperate with what the doctor needed him to do. The machine molested the nurse in the hospital.

The nurses in the hospital said he was more handsome than he looked on TV, and a group of young nurses would sneak a peek at him every chance they could, and then ask him to sign, and he signed them all, without showing any annoyance.

On the whole, he is silent and easy to get along with, but under this appearance, Wu Qi feels that there is hidden power that can explode at any time. He is indeed himself, because his eyes, his posture, no matter how quiet he is , no matter how patient you are, you still look like you are the only one.

Fortunately, he only guessed one point correctly, at least until now, he didn't think he was difficult to deal with.

Recording his treatment as a routine, Wu Qi noticed that he was staring at a female star in a magazine. He knew the newcomer. He had recently acted in a movie that was very popular. He went to see it with Nuanfeng and finished it movie, he also smiled and said to Nuanfeng that this actress looks a bit like her.

It should be the eyes, very similar.

"Like this star?" He put his hands in his pockets and asked casually.

Ding Yu looked up at him and said, "I don't know him."

"My name is Song Na. Isn't she very beautiful? She is very popular now."

Ding Yu didn't answer, and threw the magazine aside without looking at it again.

Wu Qi raised his eyebrows, well, obviously he didn't like it.

"I'm going out for a walk today." Ding Yu has changed the subject.

Wu Qi was stunned, too, since he entered the hospital, apart from a man who claimed to be his second uncle and a fat man who had visited him, he had basically never seen his family members. The gossip from the nurses since he was a child said that he was an orphan, but he left After being in the country for so long, even if there are no relatives, there is always a place to go.

"This needs to be discussed with your assistant and the hospital. I personally think that your legs are fine for walking." Originally, if you can hit the ball, walking normally is of course not a problem.

Ding Yu nodded and stopped talking.

Until noon, Wu Qi saw Ding Yu's assistant driving over. After a while, Ding Yu changed into sportswear and got into the car with a peaked cap.

He suddenly had a feeling that Ding Yu's return was not entirely for curing his leg injury, there must be something else.

Ding Yu got into the car and asked his assistant to drive all the way to the suburbs. He lowered the brim of his hat very low, and looked up at the scenery from the car window.

What are you doing back here?Why do you want to come back?

He still hasn't figured out why.

The United States helped him contact the best hospital, and he didn't have to go back to China, but it was because he checked the calendar after a game and suddenly found that it had been ten years since he left.

Ten years, exactly ten years.

Many things can happen in ten years, many things can be changed, of course, many things can be forgotten, he thinks he has forgotten, no longer have that dream, no longer think about the past, everything is going well, but thinking about ten years, He suddenly thought, if ten years is a reincarnation, can he end this period of exile and go back to China to have a look?
It was just a thought that popped up for a while, thinking that it would be okay to think about it, but in the end it became an obsession, which made him want to come back more and more strongly, just like a small stone was thrown on the originally calm lake, and the ripples became more and more intense. It's getting bigger and bigger, and he can keep it if he wants to, so he almost couldn't wait to mention his decision, and stubbornly persisted.

Now, he is back.

He thought that all his thoughts would stop here, and he could rest in the hospital to recover from his injuries, but when the fat man came to visit him and told him about the small town, he only mentioned a few words, and then day by day, he continued Strongly wanting to go to that small town, wanting to go back to that half-old neighborhood, that basketball court, and..., he dared not think about it, fearing that too strong thoughts would swallow him up.

It turns out that you really can't expect anything. Once the box of memory is opened, it can never be closed again.

Just like now, he still couldn't resist the longing in his heart, and went to that small town by car.

The assistant is a young man who grew up in the United States. At this time, the music was turned on, it was black rap music, and he was dancing while driving. Ding Yu looked at him, raised the corners of his mouth, and drove out of the window again.

The town was close in front of him. He looked at it, and subconsciously sat up straight with his upturned body.

The assistant asked him how to get there, and he told him to turn right.

The town has changed a lot. The original old houses have been demolished and new ones built, but the basic layout has not changed. Ten years can't erase any of his memories, and he still points to the direction of the road familiarly.

The deeper you go, the less the buildings inside have changed. The small town likes face-saving projects. The houses on the road are all renovated, but the inside remains the same, only symbolic road repairs.

Soon, the car stopped at the gate of the community.

Ding Yu originally thought about going to school or somewhere else first, but for some reason, he pointed and the car was already at the gate of the community.

"Just here, you wait for me in the car." He got out of the car and entered the community with his head down.

It was still the camphor trees, the sports area, and the rusty swing. He paused, remembering that Nuan Feng, with messy hair, was crying and swinging the Qianqiu before. That was the first time he saw her cry.

Taking a breath, he walked forward again, the former home was right in front of him.

When I went upstairs, the door was locked, and there were mottled Spring Festival couplets on the door.

He stood at the door, watching, for a long time, without moving.

It should be that no one is at home, there is no sound inside, if there is someone, he will turn around and run away, he doesn't know.

Leaning against the wall, watching the tree branches swaying in the wind outside the corridor window, he suddenly asked himself, why did he come back?

Why do you want to come back?Why did he come back to this place where he had experienced the pain of losing his father, hated it, and wanted to escape?

He stretched out his hand to cover his face, a name popped up in his mind for no reason, and then he slammed the hand covering his face as if hitting him on a sore spot.

warm air!

A gust of wind blew from the end of the corridor, he coughed lightly, and then fell silent again.

After a long time, the door next door opened, and an old man came out, ready to go downstairs with garbage in his hand.

Maybe it was hard for someone as tall as Ding Yu to stand there, so the old man squinted and looked over.

After a while, he seemed to get excited and called out: "Ding Yu!" At the same time, he took a few steps forward, "Are you Ding Yu?"

Ding Yu looked over and saw that it was the old man who ran a grocery store next door. After ten years, he had aged a lot.

"I'm Ding Yu." He replied.

"Our star is back." The old man's voice suddenly became louder, and his expression looked like his own child had returned.

Ding Yu smiled and said nothing.

Only then did the old man realize something, pointing to the closed doorway: "You, are you here to find Fu Lei's mother and daughter? What? They didn't contact you?"

connect?How can I contact you?Ding Yu hadn't answered yet, but the old man went on to say: "Nuan Feng found a good job in the city after passing the college entrance examination. Her mother went there together and only came back occasionally. You have to go to the city to find them. "After all, they are neighbors, and they know something about their family. The old man came back to his senses, looked at Ding Yu and said, "They left me their contact address and phone number, and said that if anyone finds them, let me tell them. Do you want to tell me? ,I give you?"

Ding Yu came out of the community, got into the car, and said to his assistant: "Go back." He leaned against the back seat and there was no more sound.

As the weather was getting darker, the assistant was still playing the annoying black rap. Ding Yu leaned on the car window with his elbows and put his fingers on his lips to watch the scenery outside the window quickly go backward. After a while, he turned his head slightly to see the tight The hand he held was slightly loosened, and there was a piece of paper inside, and he was also puzzled when he saw the words on the paper.

why?
Ghostly.

Even if he really had the address and phone number, would he really look for it?
No way.

He clenched his hand again, and the sharp corners of the paper pierced his palm with a slight pain, just like his heart at this time.

I didn't forget, I never forgot.
