The shimmering lost dusty summer

Chapter 17
If the world is so big, why should I forget you, but there is nowhere to escape...

1. She is not a good girl
"Why do you want to go back to the United States just after you come back?" The fat man patted and patted the three tickets that Ding Yu gave him. His wife and five-year-old daughter like Ding Yu the most. Last time Ding Yu announced that he would participate For the friendly match organized by the City Basketball Association, he asked Ding Yu to ask for a ticket. He came to get the ticket today, but Ding Yu said that he would go back to the United States after the game, "Why don't you stay longer, anyway, there is no contract in the United States , there is nothing to go back."

But someone didn't want to see him. Ding Yu smiled and didn't answer his words. He said, "When will you bring your wife and daughter out? I haven't seen her yet. Before I leave, let's have a gathering." Ten Years, ten years back, Fatty has married a wife and had children. I heard that this is the one we talked about in the technical school. He got married as soon as he graduated and opened a small bakery in the city.

Very good, with the person you love the most, peaceful and comfortable, this kind of life is the happiest, right?

"How about today, Xiao Zheng is working as the manager on duty at the cash drawer, let him book a box, my brothers are all working in the city, and they are free, I will call mine again, let's play all night." Once we get together, the fat man will get excited. He is worried that life is too boring, and he doesn't care if Ding Yu says he wants to call other people, he wants to call everyone here wishfully.

That's what the fat man is like, trying his best, Ding Yu thinks about it, this is not bad, we should get together, but we never had the chance.

In the cash drawer in the city center, I heard that it is difficult to book a private room. The fat man contacted all the way. When he arrived at the cash drawer, Xiaozheng had already settled the business of the private room. Seeing that it was really Ding Yu, he was a little excited, so he rushed up and gave Ding Yu a hug. .Xiaozheng is the shortest among Ding Yu's former buddies, and he is also a bit sissy. Now his height seems to be passable, but his sissy has become worse.

Seeing him hugging Ding Yu, the fat man ran up and tore it away, half-jokingly said: "Boss, you also want to get your hands on it, so don't die."

Ding Yu just laughed, this kind of joke was made before, he didn't take it seriously, but his mood seemed to return to the past, and he suddenly became happy.

After sitting in the box for a while, several other people also arrived, and the changes were different. Some people looked like human beings, while others seemed to be worse than before. It should be that there were several gatherings when Ding Yu was away, so there was nothing unfamiliar. After a few songs and a few cups of yellow soup, they completely returned to their original form. In the first place, everyone is not a good bird.

Some of the people who came were already married like fat people, and there were a few who were hanging around. The married ones laughed at the familyless ones, and the familyless ones made a lot of noise. Later, when the fat man said that he wanted to call his wife, he was opposed by the same front: today's party does not need women.

It would be even crazier without his wife present. Ding Yu was still the same, he didn't talk much, didn't drink alcohol, drank Coke, and watched them make trouble. And they already knew Ding Yu's temper.

In fact, everyone has changed and grown up, and they will never go back to the innocence and innocence of the past. The madness at that time was really crazy, but the trouble now is just a way to vent. After all, there are too many pressures and pressures in the adult world. unhappy.

Ding Yu thinks so, at least he won't be in a bad mood at this time, and he won't think of the warm air. It's not bad to play like crazy all night, so he took out his phone and turned it off, not wanting Li Pin to ruin his good time again. Feeling.

After drinking for three rounds, singing is also tired, and each of them starts to talk about the current happiness and unsatisfactory through the drunkenness. After talking about one or the other, they may sympathize with or oppose, and the men will only show their weakness in front of their buddies. Not going well with each other, when we talked about it later, some tears wet their eyes, and then wiped their faces vigorously, it was over.

The atmosphere seemed a bit sentimental, but when the music played Wang Feng's "Flying Higher", it became excited for no reason. Some people sang along, and then everyone sang along. This was the first time Ding Yu heard this song. Looking at the lyrics, thinking of the hard work and sweat I have made to join the NBA since I came to the United States, I smiled slightly.

Go back, at least he still has basketball, doesn't he?

Someone asked Ding Yu to sing, he said no, so he asked him to drink again, and he still said no, so he talked about the video of that day, saying Ding Yu, didn't you drink very well that day?

Several people laughed.

"Ding Yu, is that person Qin Nuanfeng?" The fat man leaned forward and asked.

This is everyone's curiosity, and several people calm down.

Ding Yu knew that they all knew Qin Nuanfeng. After all, he came from the same school. Even if his appearance has changed in the past few years, he should still be able to recognize him. It would be meaningless to deny it.

"It's none of your business?" But he still felt embarrassed, after all, he said how much he hated Qin Nuanfeng in front of these buddies, but now he did such a thing.

"I think it is," someone snorted, "At that time, the few of us thought that you were interested in Qin Nuanfeng, and even made a bet, but you went abroad and let it go. I didn't expect you to come back now, why? , foreign girls are not to your liking, or do you like this flower at home?"

Ding Yu was stunned, and looked up at the person who spoke, what does this sentence mean, what does it mean to feel it at the time?
"But that's what the fat man said first. We still said he was crazy, you and Qin Nuanfeng? Isn't that incest? When the fat man said that you are not related by blood," the man was terrified by Ding Yu, and hurriedly pushed the fat man away. Come out, "After what he said, we feel that the more we look at it, the more we look at it. After all, the school beauty is close to the water, and a fool doesn't want to get the moon first."

He said casually, although he felt that Ding Yu's expression was not good, but we are all adults, so we won't say that we will turn our backs or not like before.

However, Ding Yu was still Ding Yu, and his sloppy tone made him a little annoyed. Suddenly he felt that he was a fool. It turned out that they already knew it well in their eyes, but he was still a fool. Announcing to everyone how much you hate Qin Nuanfeng, isn't that a joke that people have watched for so many years?
"Then whoever you bet wins, or whoever wins today should pay the bill." He said coldly, with his long legs placed on the low table.

A few people were dumbfounded, one box, so much wine, at least it would cost thousands.

"Ding Yu, don't cut it, isn't this a joke?" The man immediately smoothed things over, his tone a little flustered, "You are not a star, we are relying on you tonight."

"Yeah, yeah." The others acted like dogs and kicked the man by the way.

Ding Yu took it easy: "Stars? Should stars treat guests?"

"That's what Fatty said." Someone pointed at Fatty, "He said on the phone that Boss Ding is treating you today, so we came here."

The fat man was sweating on his head: "Ding, Ding Yu, I don't bring that much money."

Sure enough, they are friends, Ding Yu sneered, but fortunately, this kind of face, when we were in school, everyone tacitly said that whoever has money will eat, it is very philistine.

"I like Qin Nuanfeng, is it really that obvious?" He asked suddenly.

"No, there's nothing wrong with it," several people denied in unison, "Didn't you say that was nonsense."

"Tell the truth!" Suddenly, Ding Yu put the cup in his hand on the marble table, and the bottom of the cup shattered, and Coke poured out from it.

Several people were startled, and they didn't dare to make a sound. Ding Yu got angry. He had seen it before, and it was really scary.

However, Ding Yu stared at them for a long while, and finally someone couldn't hold back and nodded bravely: "Yes, it's obvious." No matter how afraid Ding Yu is, he still has backbone. Pay for yourself.

As soon as he said it, the others immediately followed suit.

Ding Yu looked at the Coke flowing all over the table, remained silent, didn't say a word for a long time, the music changed to a new song, Ding Yu looked at the title of the song, picked up the microphone and said, "I can sing this. "So I sang along with the music.

Someone sneaked away with a bag while he was singing, and then someone else opened and closed the door, Ding Yu heard it all, but pretended he didn't hear it, and sang that song that he couldn't sing at all.

Until only Fatty and Xiaozheng, the manager on duty who had no way to leave, were left.

"Pay the bill." Just as the song was playing, he turned off the microphone and handed the credit card to Xiaozheng. "The password is on the back of the card."

Xiaozheng went out with a sigh of relief, only the fat man looked at Ding Yu with a look of despair.

"Ding Yu, didn't you joke too much just now?" said the fat man.

Ding Yu didn't make a sound, and walked out of the box.

The two got out of the cash drawer and walked on the bustling street. At this time, there were mostly couples on the street. There was a couple, the man was carrying the woman on his back, bumped into each other. Ding Yu smiled and walked by, no one was there Pay attention to his star who steals the show on the court.

Ding Yu stopped, watching the couple walk away, the fat man who was following behind bumped into him, and shouted, "What are you doing, Ding Yu?"

Ding Yu didn't move, looked at the neon lights in his eyes, and suddenly said quietly: "I like her, why don't you even know about her?"

Fatty looked at his expression, sighed, stood with him, looked at the neon in front of him, and suddenly said for no reason: "Actually, Nuanfeng is not necessarily a good girl as we think."

"What do you mean?" Ding Yu was startled and looked back at him.

The fat man was also taken aback for a moment, why did he blurt out, he covered his mouth and shook his head, his wife asked her not to say it.

However, the more he is like this, the more Ding Yu wants to know, what does it mean that Nuanfeng is not a good girl?
He stared at him, "Don't say a word."

Fatty sweated profusely: "Actually, it's nothing."

"Fat man?"

The fat man was in a dilemma, he scratched his head hard, and after a long time, he said, "Okay, okay, I said, probably three or four months after you moved to the city, my wife got pregnant because I was still a student So I secretly went to the hospital to get rid of it, and then..." He stopped to look at Ding Yu's expression, regretful, smacking his lips and refused to continue.

"Then what?" Although he didn't know what he was going to say, Ding Yu had a bad premonition, and clenched his hand hanging on the side, "Say it quickly."

"Don't say I said it. After all, she has a good boyfriend now." Fatty really regretted why he started talking about it. He originally wanted to comfort Ding Yu. The last video was obviously He is jealous when he sees people's love, well, he will die, he continued, "Then he saw Nuanfeng and her mother in front of us, and when he saw us, he panicked and left, and later asked my wife It is only now that I know that Nuan Feng is pregnant. How can you say that such a good girl is pregnant? There is a person named Wu who has a close relationship with her, so it must be his. "

If there is a dull thunder coming now, it must be aimed at Ding Yu. He didn't hear what the fat man said behind him. He suddenly couldn't stand up and squatted down. His eyes were dark. How could this happen?how come?
"Ding Yu, believe it or not, I don't owe you anything anymore..." Nuan Feng's unfeeling words in the hotel lobby that day jumped into his mind again.

I don't owe you anything anymore, does she mean this?No wonder she said it so definitely and decisively.

He wanted to yell, but he couldn't make a sound, and then he stood up abruptly, ignoring the fat man, and went in one direction, even if he bumped into someone, he wanted to see the warm wind, immediately.

"Please marry me."

This was the second time Wu Qi proposed to her. At that time, she looked into his expectant eyes and was speechless.

For several days she could not sleep.

Why can't she agree?

She kept asking herself this question, and her mother said that it was almost done, so she agreed to Wu Qi's pursuit, but what about marriage?Is it almost the same?Why can't you agree?

She has always been a person who keeps things in her heart. Her former good friends said that she was too dull and worried too much, so that one day she would suffocate herself. She just smiled at the time, but now she finds out that she really There are too many things on my mind that I want to tell others, but who should I tell?
Suddenly, she realized one thing. Since she was a child, she seemed to be very popular and independent, but now, she didn't even have a friend to call out in the middle of the night to tell her thoughts.

Everyone is friendly, but no one is sincere.

Mother was already asleep, but she really wanted to go out for a walk, so she took the key and went downstairs.

Going downstairs, looking at the sky full of stars, she realized that this was the first time she ran downstairs and walked alone in the middle of the night for no reason.

However, walking alone like this without knowing where to go, standing still under the street lamp, watching the dog walker walk past her with the dog, looking at her curiously, and the dog with the lead, slapped her with malicious intentions Call a few times.

Let's go up, she said in her heart, today is really a bit inexplicable.

When she turned around, she heard the sound of a guitar in the distance, it was broken, and she didn't play it well, but she listened carefully, and then saw a person sitting on a stone bench at the corner ahead, holding a guitar in his hand, There was another person standing in front of him.

"It sounds awful, let's play it again." Standing was a girl, clamoring and covering her ears at the same time.

The sound of the guitar stopped abruptly, and the sitting person scratched his head: "I've been practicing very hard." At the same time, he stretched out his hand and pulled the girl over to hug him.

Under the dim light, the warm wind finally saw clearly that the two were still wearing their high school uniforms.

It's two people who are in puppy love.

Nuan Feng looked at them, feeling a little confused, and unconsciously remembered some past events in his mind.

"Student Qin Nuanfeng, you are the student with the best grades in the school. Your words and deeds must set a good example for your classmates." That was the teacher's words.

"Nuanfeng, you have to be sensible, we mother and daughter are stronger than anyone else." That was what my mother said.

"I can't stop, I can't let anyone worry about it." Those were my own words.

She did it all, spinning like a top, doing what she should and shouldn't do, never slipping off the track, and growing up like this.

She may not have felt tired before, but when Wu Qi proposed again, she suddenly felt exhausted.

Do you still want to follow this track?In fact, what about puppy love?What about the last one in the exam?She reached out and pushed her hair back to her head, revealing her bright eyes, inexplicably, there were tears in her eyes, and when the tears flowed out of her eyes, she froze, catching the tears with her fingers, and suddenly felt that she was really inexplicable.

Why sentimental?Why sentimental?In fact, it was just something in her heart, she crushed the tears, smiled, and resumed her usual indifference and prepared to go upstairs.

"Qin Nuanfeng!" Someone called her from behind.

She paused and knew who it was without turning her head.

So no looking back.

"I have something to ask you." Ding Yu didn't expect Nuanfeng to be downstairs so late, but the urgency in his heart made him unable to investigate carefully.

Nuan Feng turned his head slowly, and saw Ding Yu panting and looking anxious.

"What's the matter?" Her voice was flat.

Were you really pregnant at the time?He originally wanted to ask directly, but when he saw the warm wind, for some reason, there was a pain in his chest, and he couldn't speak, just looked at her panting.

Neither of them moved.

half an hour.

"It's okay, I'll go upstairs." Nuanfeng took a step forward.

"Warm air." Ding Yu turned around and stopped in front of her. At this time, he was more nervous than when he was shooting a three-pointer. He clenched his fists, knowing that he had to ask, otherwise the uncertainty in his heart would overwhelm him. tortured to death.

"That," felt extremely difficult, but still gritted his teeth, "were you really pregnant at that time?"

It was too sudden, the warm wind took a step back, and he didn't stand still and bumped into the wall behind him. Ding Yu subconsciously wanted to reach out to support her. He stretched out his hand in the air, and saw her frightened eyes, and then the eyes in those eyes It was filled with liquid in an instant, and rolled down drop by drop, which frightened him.

Nuan Feng was in a panic, too caught off guard, and was already crying when he came to his senses. He wanted to turn around and go back into the building in a panic, but Ding Yu grabbed him.

"It's true, isn't it?" Ding Yu was almost sure, but still wanted to hear her admit it.

The warm wind man trembled uncontrollably, and shook Ding Yu away vigorously, but remained silent. As always, he wanted to enter the building, but Ding Yu clung on tightly.

The warm wind could not be retreated, and suddenly, without knowing where the strength came from, she slapped Ding Yu's face with her empty hand, and there was a "snap", very green, especially amazing in the silent night.

Ding Yu was stunned by the beating, staring at Nuan Feng, and Nuan Feng also looked at his hands in surprise, then his eyes dimmed, and he lowered his hands.

"Enough of Ding Yu, even if there is, it's a thing of the past, nothing left, so stop here, don't force me anymore." Her voice was extremely lonely, her eyes were gray.

If it was just a memory, then she would forget it, but it was a painful pain, how could it erase the unforgettable feeling?
I thought I forgot, but in fact it went deep into the bone marrow.
