The Yalu River in winter has changed the noise in summer. It is quiet, lonely, cold and depressed. The newly fallen snow has been cleaned clean. The wooden railings along the river either bend or bend, or stretch into the river or change into patterns.

There is a long road beside the river with wooden floors. Stepping on it, it makes a "creak" sound. The empty riverside is sparsely populated, making it more lonely. The trees along the river cover the unique depression in winter, which has long lost the vitality of spring, the enthusiasm of summer and the implication of autumn.

On this night, these trees, like friends walking with me and Qiutong, appear in front of me every time. Although silent, it is full of enthusiasm. On Binjiang Road, the noisy cars in the past also seem to be much less. Occasionally, they pass by as few as morning stars. Nevertheless, the Bank of the Yalu River still exudes charming brilliance.

The magnificent Yalu River Bridge calls us from afar. Yalu River Bridge and the broken bridge form a long and short parallel line.

Now, the neon lights on the river bridge flicker and sprinkle red, blue and green beams on the quiet ice. Compared with the dark neighbors on the other side, it shows the prosperity and security of the river here.

We went up against the current. On the right was the Yalu River running under the thick ice. On the left was a forest of high-rise buildings. The night was very quiet and no one could be seen far away.

We stood on the last step beside the river bridge. The wind blew in the winter night. The frozen Yalu River was stable, gentle, quiet and peaceful. Across the bridge between China and North Korea, neon blinks more mysteriously. The flashing light shines on the long ice, changing red, blue, yellow and green light and shadow, emitting beautiful dreamy billows, quiet and profound.

I can't help but admire the beauty of the Yalu River. In front of her, I look so small and insignificant. Tonight, I appreciate the winter night of Yalu River for the first time. It is so charming.

"Tomorrow, I will go back and leave the Yalu River. I can't bear to go. " Qiu Tong turned his back to me, looked at the river and whispered.

"Remember the cruise ships on the Yalu River?" I said.

"Yes." Qiu Tong didn't turn around.

"Last summer, I met you for the first time on a cruise ship on the Yalu River." I said.

"Yes." Qiu Tong turned slowly and looked at me with bright eyes.

"It will be a year and four months in the twinkling of an eye. How time flies. " I said again.

"Life is always full of opportunities and coincidences. I thought I'd never meet you again after that. I didn't expect... "Qiu Tong said with a slight sigh.

"Unexpectedly, we will come here again together." I said.

"Yes." Qiu Tong said, then slowly turned around and looked at the river. His hands were inserted in his coat pocket. He was silent for a moment.

I was silent, too.

For a long time, I said, "Qiutong -"

"Yes." Qiu Tong answered and didn't turn around.

"I want to tell you something."

"Yes." Qiu Tong still didn't move.

"I signed up." I said.

"Oh." Qiu Tong turned around and looked at me: "what's your name from the Internet?"

"Yes."

"What? Interested again? " Qiu Tong looked at me: "don't you want to take the exam?"

I was silent.

"What? Meet the registration requirements? Are you eligible to sign up? " Qiu Tong's voice was a little drunk and somewhat interrogative.

I looked at Qiu Tong and opened my mouth to speak, but stopped.

"The fox's tail can't be hidden after all." Qiu Tong looked a little like he wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh. His body shook and then said, "Yi Ke, answer me, which university graduated?"

"I graduated from Zhejiang University." I finished, lowered my head and waited for the storm that I thought came from Qiutong.

For a long time, nothing happened.

I raised my head and looked at Qiu Tong. She was staring at me. Maybe it was because she drank wine that she looked at me fearlessly.

"Sure enough. Not what I expected. Sure enough, you are not a high school graduate. " Qiu Tong said a word, suddenly hummed and smiled, and then paused: "President Yi, you have a great ability to hide the world. I'm afraid your little tail would not have been exposed if it hadn't been for this exam. "

I grinned and wanted to smile, but when I saw Qiu Tong's stern eyes staring at me, I didn't dare to smile.

"You must have kept a lot of things from me. This time, you had to expose your true education as a last resort. But, I know, this is only a small part of all your mysteries, you. You're just showing the tip of the iceberg. "

Qiu Tong shook his head, stroked his hair and continued to stare at me: "Dear president Yi, can I ask you why you deliberately hide your real education? It's a habit for you to lie all day. Would you like to tell the truth once? I don't want to hear you squeeze toothpaste out. If you, yi Ke - treat me as a friend, then I hope to hear it heartily. If you never regard me as a friend from your heart, you can say nothing. "

Qiu Tong seems to be deliberately exciting me.

I looked at Qiu Tong's more serious and deep expression, and listened to her voice that seemed to have been suppressed for a long time, confused for a long time, and urgently needed to break out. She was violently tossing in her mind and struggling in her heart.

I know that once the fuse is lit, it can't be extinguished. As long as it starts to fall out, it can't hide all the secrets. Each link is closely linked. As long as I say the first link, smart Qiu tong can immediately analyze the next link and extend the association to more.

Is it true that on this cold winter night, I will be stripped of my whole skin by Qiutong? I want chiguoguo to stand naked in front of Qiutong and wait for her final judgment on me? I don't know why Qiu Tong wants to interrogate me so actively tonight. She usually doesn't like to inquire about other people's privacy. Is it because she drank too much tonight? Has she put up with it to the limit? Did she begin to suspect that the dog shit in the air far away in Qingdao was also a guest?

Thinking like this, my heart was frightened and hesitated.

Seeing that I stayed where I was and didn't speak, Qiu Tong's bright eyes suddenly began to dim. Then his eyes turned and said coldly: "ladies, procrastinate, hesitate. Love doesn't say, don't force you, go. "

Qiutong seems to excite me again.

With that, Qiu Tong turned and went down the steps, walking very simply.

Seeing Qiu Tong leaving me, it seems that she will never come back.

When I was anesthetized by alcohol, my heart suddenly hurt and I couldn't help it.

I suddenly shouted impulsively: "Qiutong. You stop! "

Qiu Tong stopped and didn't turn around.

I finally made the final decision and walked slowly to Qiutong.

When I got behind Qiu Tong, I finally spoke hard.

"Yes, my real education is undergraduate. I graduated from Zhejiang University. The reason why I want to hide my education is just because of the work I was engaged in when I came to work in the company. In order to match my post of delivering newspapers, I don't want college students to send newspapers as news, nor do I want to lose face to Zhejiang University. So, when I filled in the form, I filled in the form of graduating from high school. So, until now. "

"Do you think it's embarrassing to deliver newspapers?" Qiu Tong turned around and looked at me.

"I'm not ashamed, but outsiders may not think so." I said.

"From the school of economics of Zhejiang University?" Qiu Tong said again.

I nodded: "well, marketing professional."

"No wonder..." Qiu Tong said to himself and then said, "why. I'll do the work of delivering newspapers. "

Qiu Tong's tone was a little cautious, as if trying to avoid words that stimulated me.

"Once, I had my own business, but unfortunately, I didn't hide from the financial crisis, and I went bankrupt. After the enterprise went bankrupt, my first love Dong'Er disappeared. It was then that Dong'Er left me for the first time. The bankruptcy of career and love made me frustrated and frustrated. I began to wander from one city to another until I ran out of money. Until I thought I wanted to live and I wanted to survive, I just found a job and had the right to live... "

Qiu Tong's eyes were wide open, especially bright in the dark night, looking at me attentively.

"Then. On the cruise ship on the Yalu River, you were wandering on the road. " Qiu Tong murmured.

"Yes, that was after I wandered out for more than a month." I said: "I didn't intend to stay in Xinghai. I wanted to earn enough money to eat and continue to wander. However, I finally didn't leave. I finally stayed, so..."

"So you hide all your past, so you start your zero start life as a migrant worker."

"Yes! I don't want people to know my so-called glory in the past, and I don't want to tell others about my painful failure, so I chose to be extremely low-key. "

"It's just that you didn't think you would stay here for a long time. It's just that you didn't think so many stories would happen here and meet so many people. It's just that you didn't think you might want to develop here."

"Yes, I didn't think of it. Haizhu, Donger and Haifeng actually know my past, but they haven't told anyone else. They may understand my mood. "

"I know they must know about your past, but I never asked them for any information about your past. Although I was very confused, I wouldn't ask anyone except you. I'd rather keep myself so bored."

Qiu Tong said softly, "maybe now I can understand why you are so silent, so low-key and even so melancholy after you arrive at the company. I have always suspected that you will not be a simple person, a simple worker, sure enough. You have been brilliant and failed. "

I was silent.

"Donger Haizhu Haifeng are from ningzhou. Why are you home in Tengchong, Yunnan?" Qiu Tong said again.

"My parents supported the border and went to Yunnan. I spent my childhood and youth in Tengchong. " I said.

"Then they are now."

"Back to ningzhou."

"So the address on your ID card is Tengchong, and you haven't changed it. But, in fact, you have been working in ningzhou since you graduated from college. "

"Yes."

"You said several times to go back to your hometown, and even you took the clouds back to your hometown, but you didn't go back to Yunnan, you went back to ningzhou."

"Yes."

"So the clouds have known for a long time. It's just that everyone didn't say it. " Qiu Tong's voice trembled.

"Yes."

"You are deliberately hiding it from me."

I didn't answer.
