When Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo returned to the bar, they were grabbed by a table of people. There were five or six young people in their 24s and 45s who were familiar with Qi Qingnuo. Yang Jingxing knew them one by one, and half of them had English names. A fashionable beauty

Inviting Yang Jingxing to sit down and have a drink, Yang Jingxing said, "I'm sorry, I have to drive...you guys should have fun."

After returning to the corner, Qi Qingnuo said, "How old do you think Karen is?" She was the woman who was more enthusiastic about Yang Jingxing.

Yang Jingxing said: "Twenty-seven or eight."

Qi Qingnuo said: "She has been divorced for four years and has a five-year-old child who doesn't even recognize her anymore."

Yang Jingxing was surprised: "You are so familiar?"

Qi Qingnuo smiled: "I heard it from someone I'm not familiar with."

After a while, Karen came over, sorted the scarf in front of Yang Jingxing and took out a business card: "I admire musicians and hope to have the opportunity to collaborate."

The business card is also in English. He is the department head of some kind of public relations company. Yang Jingxing flattered him: "If we have the opportunity to cooperate, it means that I am prosperous."

Karen smiled: "Our Yatong partners are all international companies... Are you and Nuonuo classmates?"

Qi Qingnuo said: "Junior brother, you are a freshman freshman brat."

Yang Jingxing smiled.

Karen looked at Yang Jingxing: "I know two of Nuonuo's male classmates. You are more... different."

Yang Jingxing asked Qi Qingnuo: "Do you know the twins?"

Qi Qingnuo chuckled and looked away, ignoring him.

Yang Jingxing asked Karen: "Are those your colleagues?"

Karen said: "Some are and some are not."

Yang Jingxing said: "It's definitely not the one in red."

Karen was curious: "Why?"

Yang Jingxing said: "He has looked at you several times."

Karen glanced at her companions and smiled: "We are not colleagues, but colleagues... have you looked at them?"

Yang Jingxing said: "No, I guessed it."

Qi Qingnuo commented: "You are boring enough."

Karen smiled: "We will leave in a moment. I hope we have the chance to see you again... Before I leave, can I listen to you play another piano piece?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Forget it, I think her salary is not as high as yours."

Karen didn't understand at first, and then felt a little embarrassed: "Did you hear that?"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "If you are beautiful, you should speak softer."

"Sorry." Karen kept smiling, but she was a little confused.

Yang Jingxing added: "How about if I play a song and you say you're happy to hear it, it's a treat and everyone is happy?"

Karen looked at Yang Jingxing for a while: "Okay, it's a deal."

Yang Jingxing said: "You go and declare victory first."

Qi Qingnuo asked in a low voice: "Are they making a bet?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "I'll give you face."

Qi Qingnuo said: "No need."

After a while, Yang Jingxing actually played a piece of Well Tempered, but he didn't listen to it. Only Karen and Fu Feirong applauded him. Then Karen and the others really left. Karen paid the bill as promised and asked

Yang Jingxing: "When can I see you again?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I will still be here within half an hour."

Karen smiled.

Qi Qingnuo asked: "What if she comes back later?"

Yang Jingxing asked: "Will he not come back?"

Qi Qingnuo twitched the corner of his mouth to change the topic: "Where were we talking about before?"

Yang Jingxing said: "She said her child is five years old and she is divorced."

Qi Qingnuo nodded: "Yes, I know a lot of people like this. Do you want to introduce me? Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut and help you maintain a tall image."

Yang Jingxing said: "You can't lie to yourself."

Qi Qingnuo said: "This is how you look to me! Hey, do you usually go outside or take it home?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Forget it, let's talk about art."

Qi Qingnuo asked: "What kind of art?"

Yang Jingxing thought for a while: "I really don't understand."

Qi Qingnuo asked: "Did you ask Yu Xinting to call me?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I told her you won the award."

Qi Qingnuo looked at his empty cup and suggested: "Have another cup?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "That's enough."

Qi Qingnuo suggested again: "Take me for a ride."

Yang Jingxing agreed.

The car circled around the bar. Qi Qingnuo opened the window and the cold wind blew. Yang Jingxing said it was useless and could only drive slower.

Qi Qingnuo occasionally said: "Do you feel lonely?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "I basically don't."

After a while, Qi Qingnuo asked again: "Where is the emptiness?"

Yang Jingxing said: "It's not bad."

After a while, Qi Qingnuo asked again: "Have you ever felt that no matter it's family, friendship, love, gain or dedication, career... nothing can fill that unknown void? You are completely powerless.

We can’t remain indifferent.”

Yang Jingxing laughed dryly: "I think my understanding is a bit blank."

After another long silence, Qi Qingnuo said, "I really want to travel."

Yang Jingxing supported: "Go during the holiday."

Qi Qingnuo pitied herself: "There is no destination... Can you take me to a place I have never been to in the shortest possible time?"

Yang Jingxing asked: "Men's room?"

Qi Qingnuo didn't even tilt his head, leaning on his chair and looking out the window with an expressionless face.

Yang Jingxing said: "Then stop bragging."

Qi Qingnuo raised his hand to close the window, and Yang Jingxing accelerated. After a while, he was on a wide and empty road with almost no cars, and the speed became even faster.

As the crowds became increasingly sparse, Qi Qingnuo turned his gaze and asked, "Where are we going?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I don't know either."

Qi Qingnuo closed his eyes: "Call me when you get there."

Yang Jingxing drove at a speed of 80 for more than half an hour. After passing through a deserted area, he slowly saw lights again. It should be a small town, with its name written on the road sign.

Yang Jingxing stopped at a gas station. Qi Qingnuo opened his eyes, looking a little sleepy: "Are we here?"

Yang Jingxing asked: "Have you been here?"

Qi Qingnuo looked around and said, "No."

After filling up the gas, Yang Jingxing drove into the town and looked around. It was quite remote here, and I didn't see any buildings with more than ten floors. It was past twelve o'clock, and Yang Jingxing finally found a supper shop that was still open and stopped the car.

.The street is a bit dirty, with small buildings of three or four stories on both sides.

Hearing Yang Jingxing speak Mandarin, the boss was not used to it: "You're from Puhai? It's so late, where are you going?"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Travel."

"Traveling to Shiling in the middle of the night?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Boss, I won't order any more. Please choose the best and cook us some. We're really hungry."

Qi Qingnuo said: "I'm hungry too...the more I think about it, the hungrier I get."

The boss discussed a few names of dishes, but neither Yang Jingxing nor Qi Qingnuo had any objections. Yang Jingxing asked, "Do you still want to drink?"

Qi Qingnuo shook his head: "Eat! I didn't eat much in the afternoon." He looked at the untidy tables, chairs and benches in the shop and rubbed his hands.

Yang Jingxing took out something like an electric heater and placed it next to Qi Qingnuo. He turned it on, and there was a burst of red light and a slight warmth.

The food was served very quickly. There were ribs, tofu and other things cooked in a small round pot. It was placed on the small gas stove on the table, and bursts of steam came out.

Qi Qingnuo couldn't wait to taste a piece: "It's delicious... Yu Xinting is going to praise life again, rice, I want rice."

After the rice arrived, Qi Qingnuo felt a little cold, so Yang Jingxing asked his boss to help heat it up and stir-fry it if there was no microwave. The boss explained that the temperature had dropped significantly in the past two days and it might snow.

Yang Jingxing asked Qi Qingnuo: "Can I give you a bowl of ginger soup to prevent a cold?"

Qi Qingnuo shook his head: "I eat vegetables. This one is a bit spicy. I'll drink some."

After the four dishes were served, the boss sat next to him and prepared to chat with the guests while admiring the beauty of Qi Qingnuo.

Qi Qingnuo asked: "Boss, what is the name of this place?"

"Qiaozhen is also under the jurisdiction of Shanghai City. How did you get here?" The boss was curious.

Qi Qingnuo said: "It's fun...Boss, you cooked the fish well."

The boss said: "We are fish in the river...how about the baby chicken?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Boss is very good at his craftsmanship... I'll give you the chicken legs."

Qi Qingnuo was disgusted: "So small."

The boss explained: "The bigger they get, the less delicious they are. They are raised by hormones... Hey, it's snowing."

Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo both looked outside. Under the dim street lights, there were some tiny stars. Qi Qingnuo put down the bowls and chopsticks and ran to the door, and Yang Jingxing followed.

The two of them stood under the dark night sky and raised their heads, hoping that one or two ice points would fall on their faces. A three-wheeled motorcycle came over and stopped in front of the restaurant to look at Yang Jingxing's car.

Say hello to the boss and leave.

Qi Qingnuo's phone rang, and she told Yang Jingxing that it was her mother, and then explained on the phone: "We are having supper... and friends... going back... it's a bit far, you go to bed first!"

After looking at the dull snow flakes for a while, the two lunatics went back to eat. When Yang Jingxing was digging into the third bowl, Qi Qingnuo also started the second bowl. Qi Qingnuo saw that Yang Jingxing was working hard in the pot and suggested: "

Can you use a spoon...is this soup drinkable?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Let me try it for you...it tastes good."

"Bring me a bowl." Qi Qingnuo ate happily.

It only took half an hour, but it was almost done. Qi Qingnuo wiped his lips and sighed: "This is a great meal."

Yang Jingxing said: "Fortunately I found it."

Qi Qingnuo put the tissue bag in front of Yang Jingxing and asked, "Are you going to get up early tomorrow?"

Yang Jingxing said: "No delay."

Qi Qingnuo smiled: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard."

Yang Jingxing also checked out and left after eating. The boss also wished them a safe journey. After getting in the car, Qi Qingnuo was no longer so listless. He looked at the dark scenery along the way and was unreasonably worried: "If it breaks down at this time, it will be bad."

It’s fun.”

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Well, I'll play with you."

Qi Qingnuo smiled: "Can you afford it? Do you dare to turn around now and drive directly to the next city?"

Yang Jingxing didn't dare: "Then I will become a trafficker."

Qi Qingnuo asked: "Are you willing to sell me? Who can afford it?"

After a while, Qi Qingnuo's phone rang again, urging her to go home quickly. Fortunately, Yang Jingxing still remembered the road and drove faster. At two o'clock, Qi Qingnuo was delivered to the door of her house, not very far away from Huihuang.

Just like on the road, the two of them didn't have much to say, so they just said goodbye.

At seven o'clock on Saturday morning, Yang Jingxing found a place to wash his car and then went to pick up Tao Meng.

"It's so cold today." Tao Meng, who was wrapped thickly, took off her scarf, "Where are we going?"

Yang Jingxing said: "It will be kept secret for now."

Tao Meng didn't ask further: "I want to go to your school first tomorrow."

After arriving in the suburbs, Tao Meng was surprised: "You're not going to Shangpu again, are you?"

Yang Jingxing said, "That's right. There are dozens of your names in the whole school, which is enough for half a year."

Tao Meng raised her lips: "I don't believe it."

We turned a corner halfway, and it's a little closer than the school. It's the largest indoor ski resort in Puhai. You can tell from the large parking lot that there are a lot of guests here.

Tao Meng was a little surprised and worried: "Why did you bring me here?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Didn't you regret coming back to Canada last time?"

Tao Meng asked: "Have you been here?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Two times, I'm still not proficient."

"with whom?"

"Once with Tan Dong, once alone. He doesn't have the perseverance like me."

Tao Meng looked at the building and said, "I've always wanted to come, but there's no one to accompany me."

After entering, she first asked for a coach. Then she chose ski clothes. Tao Meng didn’t want to rent, so she bought them. She didn’t want Yang Jingxing to pay for the card. She treated her and said, “My royalties haven’t been used yet.”

Both of them wore clothes and shoes chosen by Tao Meng. They were all yellow and black and didn't look very good. The two looked at each other and Tao Meng said, "Yours is a bit small." There was no way, Yang Jingxing had the largest size.

When I entered the ski resort, I discovered that hundreds of people were all in uniform. The instructor was a woman in her thirties, and she asked about the situation. Yang Jingxing said that she could barely do it, and asked her to mainly take care of Tao Meng. The snow path is very long, estimated to be three to four hundred people.

Meters, the slope can be large or small. Take care of beginners and learn on the small slope at the bottom.

Yang Jingxing knelt down to help Tao Meng put on the skis before he came on his own and said to the coach: "On the principle of not falling, try to learn as much as possible."

Tao Meng was confident: "It's not that difficult."

First, they warmed up for basic exercises. Yang Jingxing didn’t leave. He watched Tao Meng’s toddling and encouraged: “You can learn faster than me.”

Tao Meng was very careful, listened carefully, followed strictly, and did not make a fool of herself right away. However, when she started sliding, she would inevitably squat down. Fortunately, the snow here was relatively soft, so the fall would not cause much pain. Moreover, Yang Jingxing was always by his side, so that Tao Meng could

After Meng fell down, a hand reached out to help her immediately.

After only half an hour, Tao Meng was out of breath: "I'm more tired than I thought."

After resting for a few minutes, you can start again.

It started at 9:30, and by 11:30, Tao Meng was able to slide for a while and stopped smoothly, but the posture was not natural and relaxed enough.

The two skated side by side for the last time, about a hundred meters in length. Tao Meng felt it was complete: "Okay, I'm so tired and hungry."

After coming out to change clothes, Yang Jingxing asked if he should just eat here and continue in the afternoon or go back to the city. Tao Meng said he wanted to go back to the city: "I must have no energy to skate. I can't even walk shopping."

Yang Jingxing said: "Come, I will carry you."

"don't want!"

On the way back, Tao Meng looked at their ski clothes and regretted a little: "I should have chosen the purple one."

Yang Jingxing said: "The orange one looks good."

Tao Meng said: "But the two sets are the same."

Yang Jingxing said: "The sizes are different."

Tao Meng asked again: "How long did it take you to learn it?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I didn't learn it in three hours the first time, but I bought an unlimited time ticket the second time. From morning to afternoon, I was able to slide down from the top."

Tao Meng said: "I am exhausted, and my whole body is limp... But I have finally gained something, and I think it should be meaningful to play."

Yang Jingxing asked: "You praise me?"

Tao Meng felt a little proud: "That's right. Have you gone to school?"

Yang Jingxing said it had been a long time. Tao Meng then mentioned that a girl in the class had a Thai boyfriend. She actually wrote a diary in the alumni directory, talking about how sweet today was and how happy she would be tomorrow. In fact, she did nothing. And this

The girl was originally not good-looking, but in the photos she posted she looked like a different person. And her Thai boyfriend, who was dark and weird, actually asked everyone if they were handsome!

Tao Meng said: "You'll know it when you see it. It really doesn't look good at all... I feel like many of my former classmates have changed."

Yang Jingxing said: "When the environment changes, people change."

Tao Meng asked: "Then have I changed?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I have always suspected that there are some people around you that make you more and more cute."
