Ding Ge is finally back!
She hugged me tightly, resting her toes, her face against mine, and her face was a little cold.
Her breathing was a little short, and the hot air kept coming out of my neck. Maybe she wanted to see me back too badly.
Holding her, my heart was finally no longer empty.
Ding Ge said in my ear, "I'm sorry, Xing Yun. I'm sorry. You didn't wait. My grandmother asked me to stay with her for a while. You're not angry, are you?"
Ding Ge retreated and looked into my eyes, which were filled with nervousness.
I smiled and said, "No, I'm not angry."
"Hey, the road is a little congested, and the driver keeps talking and talking. I'm so tired." Ding Ge handed me his bag as he walked into the room.
At this moment, she saw Lin Ya and was shocked.
Lin Ya stood up and tried to imitate Ding Ge in a coquettish tone, "I'm sorry Xing Yun, I'm sorry..."
"Lin Ya, you..." Ding Ge was so embarrassed that he immediately ran over to cover Lin Ya's mouth, but Lin Ya ran away.
The two girls chased after each other in the living room for a while, and Lin Ya smiled again, "All right, the two kilowatts light bulb is about to leave. You... Are alone. Burn as much as you want."
Walking to the door, Lin Ya said, "Just don't light the house."
Then Lin Ya closed the door for us.
Ding Ge's face was still a little red. She looked at me, and I looked at her too. An emotion slowly passed between us.
Ding Ge smiled at me again and said, "From now on until twelve o' clock, I'm all yours. You can arrange anything you want."
I purposely said, "Can't you make up for a few hours for coming so late?"
Ding Ge saw right through my mind, snorted, and said, "Don't think about it!"
I rolled up my sleeves, prepared to make Ding Ge a big plate of chicken, and said to Ding Ge, "You didn't call me before you came. I haven't started cooking yet. Have you eaten?"
At the end of the question, I was stunned. Ding ge came so late, so did she have dinner?
Ding Ge seemed to see through my mind again. She blinked guiltily and said, "I didn't eat."
But her expression couldn't hide it from me. Ding Ge had already had dinner.
I suddenly had an indescribable feeling. I wanted to make a big plate of chicken for Ding Ge, but Ding Ge had already eaten it.
I wanted to celebrate her birthday today, but I didn't have to do anything.
Seeing me like this, Ding Ge quickly walked up to me and said, "Xing Yun, they have to leave me for dinner. I... I'm not full yet. You do it. I must eat a lot. What are you going to do for me, Ding Ge?"
Listening to Ding Ge's words, the disappointment in my heart disappeared little by little. She really loved me so much that she was very nervous and cared about a little bit of my emotions. Listening to her words, I felt an inexplicable urge to cry.
She always cared so much about me and could always inadvertently move me.
I said to her, "Big fried chicken."
"Fried chicken?" Ding Ge said excitedly, "I like to eat fried chicken!"
"You just had dinner. You can cook later."
"No, I want to see you cook. You haven't eaten either." Ding grazed my arm and looked up at me with a familiar light in his eyes.
I couldn't help but smile and go to cook, and dinger had been clinging to me and talking non-stop. It seemed that she had a good time at her house, and she seemed to be in a good mood.
However, I didn't dare to ask ding ge what she did at home and what she talked about with her family. This was something we never talked about.
After a while, the plate of chicken was ready, and it smelled very fragrant. The thick aroma of chicken and potato was mixed, and the color looked very good. Ding ge and I started our dinner with plates and bowls.
Without candlelight, it was still romantic.
The smile at the corner of Ding Ge's mouth made me feel especially satisfied.
Although Ding Ge had already eaten, he still gave me face. After helping me to pick up a few pieces of meat, he couldn't wait to eat it. His mouth was still steaming, and he looked very cute.
"Mmm, delicious." Ding Ge mumbled.
I smiled speechlessly. I was afraid that Ding Ge would eat himself up to take care of my emotions.
But seeing how delicious and happy she was, I couldn't help but want her to eat more.
What a contradiction.
I poured juice for the two of us, and the two of us had a toast. We ate and chatted.
Ding Ge asked me again, "Xing Yun, what did you do today?"
"Except for the big fried chicken, during the day, I wanted to take it around and go to some places that we used to go to, but there were no special arrangements."
"Then why don't we go later?" Ding Ge said.
"It's getting dark." I looked out the window and it was already dark.
"It doesn't matter. There are street lights anyway. What are you afraid of?" Ding Ge looked very excited and seemed to be looking forward to it.
I couldn't bear to refuse her, so I said, "If you want, we'll go."
"Okay, then hurry up and eat. We'll go after that."
Ding Ge sped up again. Seeing how easily satisfied she looked, I felt like I owed her a lot.
After dinner, the two of them went out on the street.
We couldn't spend the whole day walking all the roads we used to walk, so we had to drive and choose a few places.
Along the way, Ding Ge looked out of the window excitedly. I drove with Ding Ge through the roads we used to walk.
Now, because we often go to the Xingyun hotel, the east side that we used to go to is not much, and this is our home, we often walk on the trail, we often go to the hotel.
"Do you remember this place? This is where we held hands for the first time." I was driving on a one-way, two-lane road. The road here was a little old, a little potholed, and no one had repaired it. We used to walk here a lot.
Ding Ge seemed to enjoy walking. She would always mischievously walk along the edge of the road. Sometimes, one foot would fall off, especially on the cobblestone in the park. She would always step on it lively. Ding Ge would always adjust her steps and step on every stone when she met those stone roads like the railway tracks.
She was really a very simple and easily satisfied girl.
Ding Ge pressed down the window, looked out, and said, "How do I remember it's not this street?"
The black line on my head said, "Yes! You forgot, we ate there. When we came out, we walked along the street together."
Ding Ge seemed to remember. She nodded and said, "Yeah, it feels so different."
"Actually, it's a little different here."
In some places, there were no traces of the past, and everything was covered by the new buildings and roads.
The change here was indeed relatively small, but the road was much more dilapidated than before, and most of the shops naturally changed people, even if not changed, almost all of them changed their signboards, so there was a sense of strangeness.
"I remember there was a photo of us on my phone along the way." Ding Ge took out his cell phone.
"Really?" I pulled over to the side of the road, and Ding Ge took out the photo and handed it to me.
The two of us got out of the car and looked at the corner of Pucheng. Everything was getting old. It was getting old. It was like an old man who had no one to take care of. It was like this autumn.
Ding Ge and I looked at the photo again, but it didn't change much. Most of the streets were still houses, and the trees didn't change much.
I remember asking for this photo. Ding Ge was still a little reluctant at the time, so I smiled brightly in the photo, and dinger pouted helplessly.
Ding Ge and I looked at each other and felt a little emotional as we looked at the photo.
It's been years!
This photo was taken at night, but the neon in the photo was blurry, obviously not as bright as the neon now.
My emotions fluctuated again and I gently wrapped my arms around Ding Ge's shoulder.
Ding Ge rested his head on my shoulder and his hair was floating on my cheek. I couldn't help but think of the time when I wandered away from my past memories alone. We hadn't gotten back together yet. After my encounter with dinger, I had mixed feelings in my heart and wanted to walk the way I had walked with Ding Ge again.
At that time, my heart was broken into pieces. Looking at the familiar streets and scenery, my heart was filled with endless loneliness and hesitation. The huge black hole swallowed me like a wild beast.
Thinking back on our past, it felt like a tv series with ups and downs.
Now, holding Ding Ge's warm hand, I said to Ding Ge, "Why don't we take another picture here?"
"Sure." Ding Ge agreed.
So we started walking, looking for the exact location of the photo we took back then. It didn't change much here, but it was still easy to find.
Standing in the same position as Ding Ge, Ding Ge handed the phone to me. She smiled and said, "We're still in the same position. How about the same expression?"
I looked at Ding Ge speechless, but she smiled at me.
Today was her birthday, so of course, it was to fulfill all her wishes.
The shutter clicked. We left another picture in the same space at different times.
After that, Ding Ge and I got in the car again. I said to her, "The house we rented back then is probably demolished."
"Really? Those buildings have been demolished for years, and it's time to demolish them," Ding Ge said with a sigh, "Let's go and have a look."
I continued driving. It was not far from the old house. We arrived soon. Sure enough, after a long time, this place had been demolished and a tall building had been built on the spot. The building had not been completed yet, but it had already exceeded the original height of the floor.
Back then, Ding Ge and I lived here happily.
Ding Ge became a little depressed. She sighed and said quietly, "It's all gone."
I said to her, "The house is gone, but our memories will always be there. I will never forget them. What about you?"
"I won't forget either." Ding Ge smiled softly, her hair fluttering in the breeze.
Looking at Ding Ge's smile, scenes of the past resurfaced. We were in that small house, I fed her chips, we watched prison break on our laptops, I washed her clothes during her period, and we lay in bed together...
