After Laiyang quickly left the community, he immediately made a reservation for dinner in the theater group.

Li Dian responded with a few question mark faces in seconds, adding the following sentence: Are you arguing again?

After silencing his cell phone, Laiyang walked aimlessly along the street. The ice and snow under his feet also condensed into ice slag, and there was a crushing and shattering feeling when he stepped on it.

When the anger was extinguished from within, it was replaced by a dull, twitching pain.

The cold air also ran up Laiyang's body along the soles of his feet, making his eyes a little moist. He unconsciously wrapped his coat tightly and left lonely.

…

After returning home, I thought that Yuan Sheng would chirp over to find me, but tonight Laiyang felt deeply lonely.

No one knocked on my door, and no one sent me a message.

While lying on the bed, Laiyang looked at Tianjing's WeChat message for a long time, but as the night passed, she didn't send any message.

The next day, the sky began to clear up, but the cold air became even more pressing. Fog condensed at the corner of the window, blurring the scene outside and cooling Laiyang's heart.

He couldn't help but begin to re-examine his relationship with Tian Jing.

Also, in her eyes, her approach from the very beginning was purposeful, so she never really trusted herself.

Today is the 25th. Laiyang smiled bitterly, took out his mobile phone and directly booked a high-speed rail ticket back to Xi'an.

After getting up and cleaning up, Laiyang went to the gate of the community to buy fried dough sticks and soy milk, and knocked on Yuan Shengda's door.

She seemed to have woken up early. After opening the door, she still had light makeup on her face. Her proud figure was even more attractive against the backdrop of her nightgown.

Laiyang took a look unconsciously and felt that his pajamas were a bit too small.

This reminded him of the embarrassing scene when he was washing underwear that night.

"Hey, Lai Dao Dao has discovered his conscience again today?" Yuan Sheng laughed and groaned.

Laiyang walked into the house carrying his things, sat down on the sofa, and looked up at Yuan Shengda's two fair, slender legs.

"Aren't you coming to visit my aunt? Can't you wear pants under this nightgown?"

"My aunt has a stomachache, but it's not cold legs! Besides, I was pressed against the warm baby and it almost burned me to death."

As Yuan Shengda spoke, he sat down next to the sofa, crossed his smooth legs, and reached out to open the lunch box on the coffee table.

"Did you quarrel with Jingjing again last night?"

"There was no quarrel, we just broke off the relationship." Laiyang picked up the fried dough sticks and stuffed them into his mouth.

Yuan Sheng's beautiful eyes suddenly opened like bells, and her pretty face was in disbelief: "Broken off? Why? Did you sleep with her?"

These words made Laiyang almost choke to death. Yuan Shengda hurriedly walked on his snow-white legs to get him a glass of water.

After Laiyang finished drinking, he slapped the money in his pocket on the coffee table and finished talking about last night's events in one breath. Then he found Yuan Shengda bending his eyes and suppressing a smile.

"Is it that funny?"

"Pfft~ Hahaha, I'm laughing so hard, I can be a thief for you." She held her stomach and laughed so hard that the two soft lumps on her chest floated up and down.

Laiyang was not in the mood to talk to her and asked her to pay off the loan quickly. After dinner, he would take the high-speed rail back.

Yuan Shengda knew that it was An Jing who was with him originally, but after hearing this, he held his cheek in his hand and looked at Laiyang for a while, his pink lips slightly opened.

"How about I go back with you?"

"Don't go back. What should we do if we both leave the theater? I'll go back and finish handling the house affairs and then come back."

After Lai Yang finished speaking, a dim light flashed across Yuan Shengda's eyes, and then she leaned back on the sofa and said in a leisurely tone: "Why don't you return to the theater? Didn't you and Tian Jing break up? Then the theater will be cold at the end of this month.

?”

The Laiyang fried dough sticks almost fell from my hand.

"Okay, okay, I'm just going to say it casually. Then you should go back first. Remember to visit my mother. He is still talking about you."

Yuan Sheng's big and small mouth raised an intriguing smile. Laiyang looked at her with squinted eyes. He always felt that something was strange?

…

When he got on the high-speed train, Laiyang texted Tian Jing to go back to Xi'an out of "politeness".

It only took a second to send the message, but it took a long time to wait for a reply. There was still no news from the other party. Halfway through, Laiyang was so angry that he wanted to delete it directly.

It was already dark when we returned to Xi'an. Laiyang didn't know how to tell his parents about the house, so he simply stayed in the hotel for one night.

The weather in Xi'an is much colder than that in Shanghai. The northwest wind howled outside the window one night. After leaving the hotel the next day, the cold current made Laiyang's teeth chatter.

After making an appointment with Gu Qian to meet at the door of the housing management office, Laiyang sat in a taxi, passed the Bell and Drum Tower, and stared at the mottled ancient city wall in a daze.

This city is his hometown, and every inch of the land is filled with memories of the past, but as time goes by, these memories seem to have been solidified with a layer of frost, creating a sense of distance.

On the contrary, it was the group of people far away in Shanghai, the small theater, and the Yunbin Building that made Laiyang feel real.

…

When they arrived at the door of the housing management office, Gu Qian hadn't come yet. While waiting, Li Dian called. He saw that Laiyang was not in a good mood last night, so he didn't ask any further questions. He came to understand the situation now.

Laiyang was holding fire in his heart and poured out all his bitterness to Li Dian.

But after he finished speaking, Li Dian was silent. The tip of Laiyang's nose almost turned red in the wind, and the heat in his mouth kept coming out.

"Speak? Are you like what people say on the Internet, who leave with satisfaction after hearing other people's tragic past?"

"Don't worry, let me figure it out." Li Dian said calmly.

Laiyang held the phone between his neck, rubbed his hands together, and lit a cigarette.

This time he came back dressed a little cold. The weather in Xi'an was really terrible. The cold wind was like a blow to the ears, making people's faces hurt.

When half of the cigarette was burned out, Li Dian finally said: "I thought of a detail. At that time, you said that after entering the door, you saw her holding the crystal ball you gave her?"

"Damn it, brother...I've been drinking a lot of northwest wind. I've been waiting for you for a long time and you want to chat with me about football?"

"No, Laiyang, please simulate it in your mind. When Mr. Tian opens the door and finds that the house is in a state of chaos, what will she do immediately?"

"I'm in a daze."

"Well... the first thing you should do is check to see if the most valuable thing is there. That's what everyone does, right?"

As soon as Li Dian said these words, Lai Yang's stamping feet suddenly stopped. He was holding his cell phone, and in his mind was the image of An Jing running into the bedroom in panic, and breathing a sigh of relief after seeing the crystal ball.

"I think she must have attached great importance to the crystal ball. When she found out that it was still there, she immediately held it tightly in her hand. Although this is a small detail, it can also reflect her importance from the side."

"Oh...so, so what?" Laiyang took a deep breath of cigarette.

"So I think you still have some weight in Mr. Tian's heart. When you finally left, she didn't throw the crystal ball to you. This means that she didn't believe you were a thief. It's just that something like this happened.

, plus that little turtle is making nonsense, is it normal for people to want to have some peace and quiet?"

After saying that, Li Dian added: "On the contrary, you are too impatient and you care too much about your image in front of her, so you ended up like this."

The wind blew the cigarette ashes onto Laiyang's fingertips, which were so hot that they trembled slightly. Li Dian continued to speak.

"And since you left, the lock on her door is still broken. It's so late at night, wouldn't the little turtle take advantage of it?"

"Mr. Tian's foot is also injured. If we drive to Xi'an, will the little turtle be the driver again?"
