Chapter 128 - The spirit of Christmas envelops the whole of California in an instant.The final exam stage came to an end, and Chen Xiaozhi began to mark the papers after the completion of the big course.Before the exam, the two of them got along well, but immediately after the exam, they entered a state of crisis: Chen Xiaozhi gave Shen Dayye a few blank glances when marking the papers, his language became obviously mean, and he even picked up thorns to put on small shoes for her when he went to the cafeteria to eat.The reason is that Shen Dayye swore that the question that was not difficult was not difficult, and he was stuck with a vote, which seriously affected the principle of normal distribution of results.Shen Dayye complained to Zhang Zhen: "I think the teachers here are very good, Peking University doesn't have so many Nobel Prize winners in physics, none of us have one, and the ranking is not as high as here, why is the quality of students so bad?"
”Zhang Zhen asked to read the question, and after reading the question, he was silent for two seconds, and said to Shen Dayye: "Mr.
Ye, please do something." ”Xiao Ye was always very generous: "You say." ”Zhang Zhen: "Don't stay in school to teach. ”Shen Daye: "......"
Zhang Zhen respectfully folded the scroll and returned it with both hands: "I'm afraid that someone will kill you." ”Shen Daye: "......"
Shen Dayye finally understood that he had caused trouble for Chen Xiaozhi, and (inadvertently) became a, so he had to make up for it tentatively: "Zhenzhen, I am not a person who lacks knowledge of difficulty, in fact, I think the entrance questions of Zhi University are quite difficult." ”"......"
Zhang Zhen looked at her like a fool for a long time, and asked, "Zhida?"
Is that the perverted exam where Fermi got off to a good start?
Who doesn't find it difficult for that perverted thing?
”Shen Daye: "......"
"What's the matter," Zhang Zhen asked, "Do you want to go next door and ask your boyfriend?"
”Shen Dayye humbly lowered his head ...... "......" her soft little natural curls, Zhang Zhen endured it for a while, didn't hold back, reached out and poked the curly-haired chicken little braincase, and rua rua, muttering: "Don't say anything else, cuteness is natural." ”-…… On Christmas Eve afternoon, dinner is coming.The dormitory was empty, and Shen Dayye pulled foreign aid to put on her own makeup - the cosmetics she and Zhang Zhen brought when they came to the United States were not a full set, so they had to take out their cosmetics, compare them in the same way, and tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall.Shen Dayye looked at her eyeshadow palette, and her heart was shocked: "......
Your eyeshadow palette hasn't been used for over a year. ”Zhang Zhen's face was calm, he brushed it with his hand, rubbed the eyeshadow blocks, and said, "How can it, it's only seven or eight months, what do you think of me." ”"......"
Shen Dayye didn't know how to wear eyeliner, so he didn't buy eyeliner, and Dr.
Zhang, a rough man who didn't get any better, bought eyeliner and came back as a beauty pen, and the two of them grinded for an afternoon, and finally completed the last process in Dr.
Shen's almost crying "My eyelids really hurt, don't rub them"."
Alright."
Zhang Zhen said.Zhang Zhen looked at Dr.
Shen, who was dressed up, and saw that Dr.
Shen, who usually had clear soup and noodles, had white skin and red lips and bright eyes like water, a pair of apricot-like eyebrows and timidity, and his hair was neatly coiled, becoming a living little beauty.Zhang Zhen's satisfaction is beyond words......
She pinched the beauty's cheeks and twisted them affectionately, and said with satisfaction: "Sister Ye, if you can't get him tonight, don't come back." ”Shen Daye: "I ......"
She was nervous, and her fingers were twisted."
Oh yes, spray some perfume here," Zhang Zhen touched Shen Dayye's small perfume bottle and shook it, ripped her neckline open and sprayed it in, Shen Dayye shrank back as if electrocuted, tugged at the collar of her skirt, and looked at each other warily.Zhang Zhen put away the perfume bottle and said sincerely: "Useful." ”"Yes, yes, yes," Shen Dayye almost wanted to bite Dr.
Zhang to death: "With your size, if he doesn't eat this set, why am I doing so hard, won't it be pitiful to come back and take a bath by myself!"
”Zhang Zhen: "How do I know. ”Shen Dayye: "......"
Shen Dayye felt that he was not clean, so he pulled his hair together and put on a coat and went out.The sky was overcast, and the geese were swarming through the heavy rain clouds.Downstairs, Chen Xiaozhi was wearing a dark gray cashmere coat, holding the car door with one hand, waiting for her outside the dormitory building.Shen Dayye noticed that he had changed the car again, this time it was a black business that looked quite low-key and luxurious, probably for this kind of formal occasion, and the car logo was a very delicate crown, but he didn't know it.Senior Sister Shen judged that it was Ling Zhi or some Lexus......
The devil knows what this car is, but the Lexus name is quite long, and it deserves a delicate crown."
I'm coming."
Shen Dayye said.The cold wind was cold, and Chen Xiaozhi, who was waiting at the door of the car, had his hair blown out of order, and looked up at her idly.Shen Dayye had never seen anyone in this way, and even the lipstick she wore made her very uncomfortable, not to mention that it was her boyfriend on the other side - she didn't know if Chen Xiaozhi thought it was good-looking, so she asked nervously for a while: "Wait......
Does it take a long time?
”"Soon," Chen Xiaozhi retracted his eyes, opened the door with one hand, and said calmly: "Get in the car, it's cold outside." ”Then he gracefully stretched out his hand and motioned for Shen Dayye to get into the car."......"
Shen Dayye actually felt that she was dressed up quite beautifully when she came out, which was completely different from usual, and the dress she ordered was suitable for her, although Zhang Zhen was a makeup student, she also knew how to look good, and the final makeup was beautiful and vibrant.She thought that Chen Xiaozhi would at least look at her more.But he didn't.…… You didn't dress up to show him, Shen Dayye told himself in his heart that putting on makeup and wearing a beautiful dress didn't have so many intentions, let alone for Chen Xiaozhi - didn't he say that it was so difficult to accept?
But what if it's just to say, "You're beautiful today"?
Shen Dayye pressed the hem of her skirt and got into the car.- "-What if he doesn't have a crush on me?"
Shen Dayye's head slammed against the window glass.The streets of the city are full of couples, there are boyfriends leading Samoyed walking dogs, girls running forward laughing with him, and two gray-haired old men supporting each other to eat Christmas dinner, kissing under the street lamps, fireworks in the world, and thousands of people returning home.-- We can do that too.Shen Dayye looked at them in a daze.He really doesn't think I'm good-looking?
Shen Dayye looked at himself at the window glass with a crustic heart, feeling that he was not ugly in the first place, he went to a general education class and a junior came to talk to him, and after putting on makeup, he was even more like a little beauty embryo - not to mention anything else, this appearance is enough to be the host of the college party, why didn't Chen Xiaozhi react at all?
In the next second, Shen Dayye suddenly remembered that I was from the Academy.Shen Dayye: The simplicity of the "......"
School of Physics is comparable to that of the Academy of Mathematical Sciences, and the black leggings with down jackets are all over the place when winter comes, Shen Dayye sighed, pulled the small skirt, and protected his legs."
Wearing less?"
Chen Xiaozhi immediately keenly twisted the warm air: "I'll get you some hot drinks when it's time for a while." ”Shen Dayye's legs were indeed cold, but he was very angry after being cared for, and his mind was full of dogs, why was the man so meticulous at this time......
Shen Dayye was angry alone, but Chen Xiaozhi suddenly said, "There is snow tonight." ”Shen Dayye was stunned: "Huh?
”Chen Xiaozhi drove up the mountain and said, "White Christmas is very rare in California, you are lucky." ”Shen Tianye took out her mobile phone to look at the weather forecast when she heard this, and found that it would snow at nine o'clock in the evening, but when she went to see Chen Xiao again, she found that he did not say anything further.Shen Dayye felt that he had a lot to do on the one hand, and on the other hand, he felt empty, feeling that Chen Xiaozhi was always far away from him.Estrangement is always silent.If only it were an illusion, she thought lonely.
-The foliage chandelier is lit and the snow-white marble floor tiles are shining.Professor Chen warned his students: "Don't run around, drink less, and don't grab a glass and drink it, it's basically all alcoholic beverages, and your broken amount of wine can't hold up white wine."
Ask the waiter if there is no alcohol, and milk is fine. ”Twenty-five-year-old Shen Dayye said dissatisfiedly: "Children only come here to drink milk. ”Chen Xiaozhi said: "You are not as good as a child." ”Shen Dayye twisted his thin eyebrows to express his anger, Chen Xiaozhi couldn't help laughing when he saw this, rubbed her head vigorously, and then asked the waiter for a glass of hot orange juice."
Picky ghost," Chen Xiaozhi said, "I know you don't drink hot milk." ”He actually remembered that the little picky ghost laughed with a hot drink, so Chen Xiaozhi also smiled and bent his eyes and pinched her cheeks.A flower bloomed in Shen Dayye's heart, and for a while he almost ignored this guy's deliberate behavior of creating estrangement.But in the next second, a man with a wine glass walked over and banished the atmosphere.The man came over to greet Chen Xiaozhi: "Dr.
Chen, long time no see." ”Chen Xiaozhi nodded gently, briefly introduced Shen Dayye, "This is my girlfriend", and introduced her to the person who came, who was the husband of a noble lady of the school council, with a French accent, who couldn't speak a few words of French, with a wrinkled face and a bad surname.Shen Dayye greeted the French-accented man cautiously and cautiously.Then Professor Rosh Shuar came over, fished out Chen Xiaozhi, and smiled apologetically at Shen Dayye.Shen Dayye stayed where he was, stunned for a while, and decided to find something to eat.-…… It doesn't seem to be that bad either.Shen Dayye sat by the window and watched the stars under the mountain.She vaguely understood that Chen Xiaozhi dragged her over to let her have some fun here.Shen Tianye has been too tense these days, and the atmosphere of this dinner party is actually very pleasant - no one cares what you are doing.Besides, the Ivy League school is not bad for money, and the dinner party was actually held in the famous Los Angeles hilltop villa area, and the scenery is wonderful.Thousands of lights outside the floor-to-ceiling windows make the coast a mystery.At least 10,000 times better than watching Netflix in your dorm.Shen Dayye tugged at the neckline of her skirt uncomfortably.That dress suited her very well, but Shen Dayye always felt a little embarrassed in her heart, as if it wasn't her own clothes.It's funny, she thought, thinking that when she was a child, she thought that twenty-five would be a dignified adult.After all, it sounds like a huge and mature age, and Dad already has children at that age - how to listen to how mature, but after growing up to twenty-five years old, Shen Dayye realized that this is an embarrassing age.At this age, he was far from being able to take charge alone, and he was not able to stand tall, and now Shen Dayye only felt that he was small, like a grain of gravel, but he was very painful by the world.The girl poked the grape slush with a spoon and stared out the window in a daze.It's almost the New Year.New Year's and Christmas were almost all activities she looked forward to, such as going for a walk in Washington, D.C. - with Chen Xiaoyi, of course, he said that they could go to see the classroom where Shen Tianye had attended classes and see her childhood street.Moreover, Chen Xiaozhi may be preparing to return to China next year.These two thoughts, Shen Dayye just thought about it, and his heart was pounding.The school board dinner was crowded and there were some people walking around for their children to go to school, so it was noisy.As for Chen Xiaozhi, it can be seen that Professor Rosh Shuar is very relieved of him - Shen Dayye also saw him chatting with Sergei alone at about 7:40, and the two seemed to have a little private friendship and talked happily with each other.Shen Dayye's most commonly used website at present is Google Scholar, last year, the Internet company came to the school roadshow and drilled into the Google Glass to play, at this time I actually saw its founder and boyfriend chatting, for a while it felt like breaking the dimensional wall, very trance.It feels strange again.Normal, Shen Dayye told himself that Chen Xiaozhi had been on the social news, and he was no longer a simple and cute junior high school student, and now he was still a dog.Then, Shen Dayye suddenly remembered a question: Even if they didn't break up that year, would they drift apart?

Shen Dayye was stunned, and once again found that there were too many problems between her and Chen Xiaozhi that could not be thought about.It's so annoying to fall in love, Senior Sister Shen was full of pain and didn't have a place to talk, stepped on the little high heels that grinded her feet, and moved down from the stool.
-Dr.
Shen, who knocked out his teeth and swallowed blood, caused his stomach to be full of blood, finally couldn't hold back and drank two glasses solidly.There are a lot of people downstairs, and it is also very noisy, far less clean than the small second floor, Shen Dayye Wan refused two or three people to chat with her, her eyes intentionally or unintentionally paid attention to her boyfriend's traces, took a sip of wine, and went into the banquet hall.And it was there that she saw Chen Xiaozhi's familiar back.Chen Xiaozhi stood at the door, looking down, as if he was playing with his mobile phone.Shen Tianye spent the night alone, and there were more and more small contradictions, at this time, he was a little nervous, and he was going to ask Chen Xiaozhi if it was over, and he would send me back when it was over, and I was going to be strangled to death in this fart dress, but I didn't take two steps forward, and I saw an old man standing next to him.Shen Dayye: "......?"
”It's almost nine o'clock, isn't it over yet?
Chen Xiaozhi, I curse you for having long feet.The old man was at least sixty years old, tall, with white turmeric hair, and Shen Dayye felt a little familiar—when he looked closely, he found that it was the current principal.Shen Dayye couldn't be disturbed by the principal's appearance, so he had to dodge a little, and waited for the old man to let go of his boyfriend with great annoyance.- "Dr.
Chen," the old principal said in a friendly manner, "I heard a few days ago that you plan to further expand the topic of your PhD?"
”Chen Xiaozhi looked like a model walking the catwalk from behind, handsome and long, and replied with a smile: "Not exactly."
But that's what you've heard?
”The old headmaster smiled, "I participated in the discussion in your department. ”Professor Chen smiled: "Discussion - I know very well what I am discussing, except that Professor R even thinks that I have too much money and is unfair to others, and now even you are here." ”He quipped, "You're going to cut me tens of thousands of dollars?"
”The old headmaster laughed and said, "How come, no one can shrink you." ”Read between the lines.Even Shen Dayye, who was taking a sip of wine, heard it.Chen Xiaozhi looked at the principal, his eyes were gently bent, and there was still a hint of drunkenness in his eyes."
Thank you."
Chen Xiaozhi said politely.The old principal didn't expand on the sentence, and said, "Dr.
Chen, you haven't taken your annual leave for the past two years, right?"
”"Nope."
Chen Xiaozhi said: "I'm not very keen on playing, I played almost during my undergraduate years, and my passport was stolen in Paris three or two years ago when I went to Europe, so I haven't gone out for the past two years." ”The old principal said kindly: "In recent years, I have found it during the holidays.Take the time off next year, Dr.
Chen?
Your teacher wants to kick you out for a while, too. ”Chen Xiaozhi smiled and answered, but his eyes were uncertain when he looked at the old principal.The next second, in the noisy environment, the principal opened his mouth: "I heard that you have plans to return to China." ”This topic!
That's the point of the conversation!
Shen Dayye almost immediately came to his senses from his drunkenness.'
Return home'.It's also strange to say that they have never discussed such a big thing as returning to China - Shen Dayye knows what brand of cat food Chen Xiaozhi's family eats, but he doesn't know anything about such a big thing as returning to China.Shen Dayye only knew that he went to Peking University once, looked at the facilities in the department, and asked Shen Dayye a lot of questions about treatment and evaluation of professional titles, and never heard him mention it again.This is actually Chen Xiaozhi's first statement."
Go back to China......
Maybe. ”Chen Xiaozhi said with a smile in his voice, "There are a few schools over there that are interested in me, and my parents are also in China, so the environment is still familiar." ”The old headmaster asked, "Are you uncomfortable doing here?"
”"Not really."
Chen Xiao's way.The principal smiled politely, "I hope you're joking."
Stanford is basically the environment you are most familiar with, and you have to start all over again when you go back, the project, the funding......
Returning home is not a good option. ”Chen Xiaozhi smiled.Then he spoke, and said slowly, "It's one of the options." ”-- Option, one.Shen Dayye, who was eavesdropping on the side, was stunned.It was a negotiation trick, and even she could hear it.What other options are there?
Is returning home just for fun?
His back is idle, his back is stretched and straight, and his suit gives him a sense of a young pommel horse.Shen Dayye has known this man for twenty years, second only to his parents, but he is speaking like a person she doesn't know at this time."......"
The strength of the wine completely dispersed, and Shen Dayye's fingers tightly grasped his arm, and even the flesh was trapped in.The old headmaster's eyebrows stretched: "One of the options?"
Dr.
Chen, if you want to change jobs, I will seriously stop you. ”There are only a handful of occasions when a principal can come forward to stop a faculty member from resigning — especially at one of the top five Ivy League schools with QS.Their school name is a sign for high-level talent, and there is no shortage of people just by hanging the sign, and they have no shortage of people: there is not necessarily a single time in a long tenure as a principal.It can be seen that Chen Xiaozhi is important.Under the lamp, Chen Xiaozhi pressed a finger against his jaw and rubbed it slowly."
How?"
He's funny.Shen Dayye suddenly felt a sense of weakness that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, like thousands of hands poking out of the floor, dragging her, trying to make her knees touch the ground."
You are not short of funds with us, if you lack an assistant or want to recruit students, we will fully support you," the old principal paused, as if observing Chen Xiaozhi's expression, and said cautiously: "Also, we plan to consider your tenure next year." ”-- Tenure, tenure, once appointed for life, there is no need to participate in any comprehensive evaluation, scientific research achievement assessment, or even a specific topic, almost unconditionally giving researchers academic freedom.It is an opportunity for countless people to work hard.And this is only the third year of Dr.
Chen's graduation.The person who graduated at the same time may not even have even left the station for the first Ph.D., and he has already stepped on the threshold of tenure at Stanford.Shen Dayye saw Chen Xiaozhi's temptation, it turned out that returning to China was a bargaining chip?
Is it a threat at the negotiating table?
――With the option of long-term employment, what can attract him in China?
Most likely, no.Shen Dayye, who was eavesdropping, felt that the tip of his nose was sour.Chen Xiaozhi was also stunned and asked, "I'm going to be hired for a long time?"
”"Almost, it's a coincidence, there are just a few places available in your department," the headmaster said kindly, "next year Professor Rosh Shuarr will retire and there will be one vacant, and he will be happy to recommend you." ”-Shen Tianye touched his eye socket and felt that his eye socket seemed to be a little hot.It's really useless, Shen Dayye thought, but she even thought about the arrangements after returning to China: go to dinner with her grandmother on the weekend, walk hand in hand with Chen Xiaozhi, wait for him to get out of class outside the classroom where he is in class, and be close to her mother, if she has nothing to do, she can run home to find her mother to be coquettish.But what now?
How is he always like this?
When I was a child, I wanted to go abroad, and I could not say a word for half a year, but when I grew up, we were together again, but I didn't even reveal a word about such an important thing.We never even discussed the future, including marriage.Even if it's a childhood sweetheart, it started when the two were young, but at the age of twenty-five - even the seventeen or eighteen children on the subway are discussing the future, childishly discussing the future life of two people, people are growing up after all, two people are together, then it is inevitable to discuss the life of two people, even if it is just what to eat tomorrow morning, where do you want to go on vacation next year.But they didn't even once.Shen Dayye's heart was sour, as if his heart had been pinched through by a big hand, and the snow ballast dripped down with blood.She wanted to cry a little, and wanted to go up and grab him to ask for an explanation, but Chen Xiaozhi was still talking to others.It wasn't the right occasion for her to step in.Her blood vessels were pounding in her head, and she couldn't hear their conversation.How do you open your mouth to him?
Question or what?
Later......
Shen Dayye's stomach pouch was tightened, the strength of his body was drained little by little, and his body was cold from the inside out."
Dr.

Chen, I'm relieved when you say that......"
The principal's voice came intermittently: "Would you like to come to our house for dinner during the holidays?"
My wife has a good job of brisking - or do you have any special arrangements?
”The conversation is coming to an end.Shen Dayye thought palely.You go quickly, go quickly, I will peel off Chen Xiaozhi's skin when you leave.Chen Xiaozhi said, "There is no special arrangement for the arrangement......
"There is no special arrangement?"
Shen Dayye raised his head suddenly, staring at his back.Then, she heard Chen Xiaozhi say politely: "But if you are free, I will contact you." ”-Shen Dayye put down his wine glass, his eyes lit with light and dark fire, and looked at Chen Xiaozhi.It was an adult man, already tall, with broad shoulders and straight as a mountain cedar, and Shen Dayye couldn't even connect him with the tanned child who loved to hold her hand and run down the alley, and he could no longer piece him together with the proud and handsome boy covered in blood.Time is an all-engulfing monster - one should always know.Some people have turned into ashes that can never be returned in the long river of time, dreams have become a piece of waste paper, and some people who were once close to each other have become strangers.What's going on?
How could he say that?
Isn't he going back to his old home with me?
A small day leaf asked uneasily.- No, there's no need to ask.Shen Dayye told himself, tears rolling in his eyes, and he dimly saw Chen Xiaozhi's smile.His cheeks were a little red, as if he had also drunk some wine, and when he saw her, he was stunned, smiled at her gently, raised his glass and gestured to her, and teased her with a little intimate and slightly drunken urgency.How could he be as if nothing had happened?
Shen Dayye's hands were trembling, sweating and clutching the fabric of his skirt, looking at Chen Xiaozhi, he was unconscious, and turned to leave.She blinked and left the banquet hall in silence.- How can people become like this?
Chen Xiaozhi in Shen Dayye's memory is proud and fearless, an uncompromising young master, who does not bow his head in his nature, remembers every promise like obsessive-compulsive disorder, and will not use returning to China as a bargaining chip to compete for tenure - and even if he has such a plan, he should at least inform himself.- At least.Shen Dayye was pained and disappointed, her mind was in a mess, and she ran down the escalator.She pushed open the door to get some fresh air, and the moment it opened, the wind poured in like a tsunami.Shen Dayye's clothes were thin, and he was mostly awake by the wind, and his eyes looked at the vast dark night.There everything was curled up, in the cosmic darkness, and the wilderness behind the mighty peaks stretched endlessly, and a road ran through the hinterland to the first home in her life.-- That family has her first memories of the world, when they lived near Harvard, when they moved to Washington, D.C., when she was a toddler for the first time in her life, the first ray of sunlight that fell in her eyes, the first day she went to school with her school bag on her back.She still remembers her feet on the dirt in the yard, the spring grass is soft, the little girl and her father play with the helicopter model, the little plane buzzes over the phoenix and iris in the sun, the sun falls on her father's face, his smile is white and warm like the blazing sun, like a person who will never leave.I should go see him.She thought.I have to go this winter, and if Chen Xiaozhi wants to have dinner with that broken principal, then I'll go to see my father by myself.Shen Dayye looked into the distance, the lights of thousands of homes on the horizon on Christmas Eve, and the next second she opened the door and ran forward.She put the thick coat on herself, Chen Xiaozhi and the dinner party were left behind, and the wind blew into the collar and skirt, but Shen Dayye didn't feel the slightest cold, she ran in the wind, as if flying with the wind.It is a long distance across North America, Shen Dayye knows that he has no time to buy tickets, the Christmas holiday is like the domestic Spring Festival, and the ticket source is already tight - this is still a popular route, and the domestic railway in the United States is almost a decoration, it is far less developed than the domestic high-speed rail.Now, there's only one option left, driving.Shen Dayye stood at the gate of the villa and was stunned for a moment.She doesn't have a car, and she's at least a few kilometres away from the nearest car rental company - most of which are remote, and where land is scarce.Is it to walk down the hill and go out to get a taxi?
Shen Dayye had no clue, standing at the door of the villa and feeling cold, he put his hand in his pocket.The next second, she felt a car key inside.Shen Dayye: "......"
She lowered her head and saw that the coat she was wearing was very wide, not her own coat.The bag storage office mistakenly handed Chen Xiaozhi's coat to his fellow female companion.And in that coat, there were his car keys.Shen Dayye looked at the car key for a long time.Then she sent a WeChat message to Chen Xiaozhi, saying, "I'll borrow your car and use it, and I'll tell you where to find it in a while." ”Then she put away her phone, stepped on her heels, and ran all the way to the parking lot.- Light snow, cold winds, and streetlights on the streets of Los Angeles.Shen Dayye rented a car from the only car rental company that hadn't closed yet, and the place was close to the San Fernando Valley, and the manager was an old man in his seventies, drinking in a room with incandescent lights half-lit.The old man was alone, his nose was red, and he looked very lonely.Shen Dayye took the car keys and stayed for a while and drank a glass of his hot apple juice.The old man asked, "Where are you going on Christmas Eve?"
”Shen Dayye sat on his stool, smiled, and replied, "Go back to your previous home and have a look." ”"The old ......," the old man smiled wryly, filled another glass of beer, and motioned, "Alas, child, have a drink." ”The old man didn't ask her where she was going to go when she came to rent a car in a set of evening dresses and high heels, and Shen Dayye didn't ask the old man why she was alone on Christmas Eve, there was a lamp hanging at the door of the car rental company that was blown by the wind, the snow slowly accumulated a thin layer, the air conditioner in the bungalow was humming, and one person drank beer and juice.Shen Dayye held the hot juice, only to feel that the tip of his nose was sour, his eyes were half-closed, and he couldn't bear the tears.Her phone screen never lit up, and the old man didn't talk on the phone, and when she left, the old man grabbed a handful of candy from a small box and stuffed it into her pocket."
Eat on the road."
The old man insisted in the snowflakes: "Happy Christmas Eve." ”Shen Dayye left Chen Xiaozhi's car at the door of the car rental company, and handed over the car keys to the old man for safekeeping.She sent the address to Chen Xiaozhi, but he still hadn't looked at his phone, and he didn't even reply to the first WeChat message.It doesn't matter if he doesn't come back or not.Shen Dayye got into the car, Chen Xiaozhi's car was left behind her, the girl kicked the accelerator, and the jeep galloped forward along the empty street.What's the matter, Shen Dayye thought.It was I who decided to go back to my own home, and I paid for it myself.The snow slapped on the glass, like a hurricane, and like a big bird's white feathers falling one after another.When the car drove to the first road sign pointing to I-10E, Shen Dayye turned on the air conditioner, and she rubbed her cheeks thickly with the back of her hand, at first she just wanted to rub her eyelashes, but she touched her hands full of tears.-…… Shen Dayye didn't know what he was doing.I don't know if it's suppressed for too long or pretending to be crazy and stupid, in short, the brain driving across North America alone is definitely not normal, at least the brain with a normal brain will take someone in the passenger seat - but Shen Dayye was stunned and didn't bring anyone with him, so he drove on the highway alone.But Shen Dayye asked herself, this was the only time she had listened to herself in the past few months.- She is repressed by nature, clumsy in her expression, and has an inexplicable barrier with everyone, and it is difficult for others to know what she thinks.Almost everyone thinks that Shen Dayye is slow, slow, and natural, and some people think that Shen Dayye is too cute to do this, like a child.But in fact, she wants a flash of inspiration more than anyone else, wants the glory of truth, wants to express and miss without barriers, and wants love.In the long twenty-five years, there was only one person, and only one person gave her this.Utter trust, utter love, knowing every bit of her daughter's pain, lifting her on his shoulders - but he was taken away by the world.Shen Dayye thought of her father and Chen Xiaozhi, crying while driving, she felt that she was driving to find him, at least to get close to him.What kind of pain -- no, what kind of pain it is, after ten years it will still be fresh, like a wound that will never heal, even if that child becomes fifty, sixty, seventy years old, and is about to die, it will keep bleeding and suppurating.The long night was long, Shen Dayye whimpered and cried in the car, the blade-like snowflakes fell on the mountains, the mountains were dark, and the Americas were silent like a mystery.- Dad.The man who greeted her crying outside the delivery room, the person who dragged her daughter's little hat and taught her to walk, the senior who greeted her in the hall, the first teacher in life who put gummy bears in the classroom where she went to audit, he was a blood relative, a senior, a guide, a sinner who did not say goodbye.I fell in love with a boy, Dad, Shen Dayye was crying so much that he was about to lose his breath.Do you remember him, I want to show him to you.But how could he become a pure stranger—how did he want me to deal with him?
The wind made the chassis of the car unstable, and Chen Xiaozhi's coat was tossed and turned in the back seat.The off-road vehicle is not heavy, Shen Dayye experienced the feeling of being on the verge of overturning for the first time, the passes of the Rocky Mountains are mountainous, coupled with the wind and the snow drifting, the snow-white jeep sailing in thousands of angry waves, tossing and turning in the dark night to find the way home.Shen Dayye parked the car on the side of the road, looked at his mobile phone, and found that the mobile phone had been turned off when it was out of power.It may not be good not to say goodbye without saying goodbye.Shen Dayye pulled Chen Xiaozhi's coat and put it on, wiped the tears on his face with his cuffs, and drove into the vast snowy night.You can't drive fast on a snowy night.There was not a single car on the interstate, only the white jeep she rented sank into the snow, like a flower that melted into the earth.Shen Dayye thought of many things intermittently.She remembered the nights her dad had taken her to Houston in his car.Cape Canaveral is full of clear stars.A campfire on the camp.Dad picked her up from school and secretly bought her ice cream from the corner on the way, cranberry baskin Robbins and crushed peanuts, and crumpled spring breeze.Then she suddenly remembered that Chen Xiaozhi had done it when she was a child, and in that era of scarcity of materials, the little boy carefully sprinkled his mortar of peanuts on the strawberry-flavored popsicle.The girl's tears rolled down uncontrollably, she looked at Lin Haixueyuan in front of her and recalled her trivial father, but it was more trivial matters related to Chen Xiaozhi.…… Xiao Xiaozhi's popsicle.The little boy's palms were warm and sweaty as he held his hand.Tender grass growing on roof tiles.The long voyage on the bus, his short hair and round belly on the floor of the observatory.Teresa Teng's melodious He Rijun will come again.In the empty afternoon of the classroom, the teenager bought lunch, strawberry fudge and yogurt.Intermittent phone calls on the eve of the race.Vali and Eva dance among the stars.He carried a suitcase to help him move the dormitory, and he was tall and thin.On the winter night of seven sheep, holly leaves drip into the galaxy.-- Ten years of reunion, a lifelong vow.Above the ruins, hugs that almost crumpled bones.The sea was blue and sunny that day, and on the ruins of the tsunami, Chen Xiaozhi hugged the girl so tightly, as if he wanted to rub her in.Shen Dayye held the steering wheel and choked with tears.She was crying and afraid that she would be unlucky and have a car accident, but she had a good life on this good day of family reunion, so she was very cowardly crying while staring at the windshield, not daring to relax for a moment.The snow shook off like cotton wool, and in the bumps of the sea, a warm light lit up behind him.Before Shen Dayye entered Interstate 40, a car appeared behind the white jeep she rented.The car was frighteningly fast, braving the wind and snow.It's like you're dying.
-The car came from behind from a distance, and the high beam illuminated at a distance of at least 100 meters, so bright that the rooster would crow when he saw it.The headlights were very annoying, but knowing that there was someone who was also in the wind and snow like himself, the soft loneliness in Shen Dayye's heart subsided a little, and tears fell less often.So Shen Tianye wiped his tears vigorously and looked at its body, but the headlights were too bright to even see a single hair.The "......" girl shrank back into her head......
Chill off that car with one foot on the accelerator!
As soon as the car approached, the neon lights were like the sun, and Shen Dayye had not driven the road at night, and was so bright that he almost stepped on the brakes to save his life.What is this person doing, Shen Dayye can barely react - and then the car honked its horn and motioned for her to give way.The whistle echoed through the mountains, and Shen Dayye gave way to the lane a little, and the vehicles behind him sped away.It was running very fast, and the snowflakes were all up, and it was a black car with a California license plate, and the roof was covered with snow.Shen Dayye sighed.The road ahead was long, the wind and snow were like obscurity, and even the only human population began to leave her.Interstate 40 is an unimaginable journey for travelers.It stretches 4,100 kilometers from California in the west to North Carolina in the east, and travels lonely through the inaccessible Central Great Plains, passing through the desert Gobi Desert along the way, as empty as a vacuum in the universe.Shen Dayye rubbed his cold fingers and watched the car with a pitch-black body drive towards the heavy snowfall.I don't know when the next time I see someone else......
She thought in a mess.In the next second, a piercing sound pierced the sky!
The black car with a California license plate stepped on the brakes and drifted sideways ninety degrees, blocking the empty, pitch-black road tightly!
And the black car is a serious business, not a sports car, not a sports car, and this hand is not for excitement, it is playing with life.There are only two possible scenarios: the road is in bad condition, or it is using itself as a roadblock to force a stop.As soon as Shen Dayye figured out this question, a person stepped down from the car.
