Chapter 15 "Warm" 15

The train departs from Harbin at 8:32 in the evening and arrives in Beijing at 7:7 the next morning. It still takes 10 hours and 35 minutes. It is almost the same as the situation from Beijing to Harbin, only the two minutes difference. Why not open at 8:30 but leave at 8:32, I am really puzzled. But fortunately, there are two extra points, because Nuan Nuan and I are playful, and it was already 8:30 when we arrived at the platform. The return ticket has already been bought, and the soft sleeper is still the lower berth. This time in the same box were two girls from Beijing who came to Harbin to play, who seemed to have just graduated from university.

It's the age when you can't walk in high heels, and girls at this age are usually the most attractive. They were very enthusiastic and took the initiative to chat with Nuan Nuan, Nuan Nuan also told them that I came from Taiwan. Two girls, one tall and one thin, unexpectedly climbed down from the top bunk at the same time and came to me. "I haven't seen a Taiwanese with my own eyes yet, so I have to take a closer look," Gao's girl said. "Let's hear something," said the skinny girl. "Hello. "I say. "Speak in longer sentences," said the tall girl.

"It's cold, it's so cold, Harbin is really cold. "I say. The two of them laughed wildly, and the roof was about to be lifted off. "Stop laughing. ’ I said, ‘People will think we’ve had a murder here. 』The two of them laughed even louder, and said in unison: "Taiwanese talk very interesting." These two girls should have just had a pleasant trip to Harbin, and they are still in high spirits. He chatted endlessly, and even took out poker cards to invite me to play with Nuan Nuan. Nuan Nuan sliced ​​Da Lieba and shared it with the four of them, and they were full after eating only one-third of it.

Daliba tastes a bit hard, slightly sour in taste, but rich in aroma. Finally, they finally calmed down, and I walked out of the box to get some air. The train continued to make regular and low-pitched rumbles, heading for Beijing. I arrived in Beijing at dawn, and after I stayed in Beijing for another day, I had to go back to Taiwan. The sudden reality made my heart sink, and withered the blooming flowers in my heart. Delayed work for a few days can be saved, but after returning, you have to face endless thoughts. How to save? "What are you thinking?" Nuan Nuan also walked out of the box.

"fine. "I say. Nuan Nuan glanced at me and asked, "When is the plane?" "After ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow. 』I also took a look at Nuan Nuan. Then we fell silent. "Warm. ’ I broke the silence, ‘I want to ask you a profound question. "Ask." Nuan Nuan said. "How are you doing? ""This question is really profound." Nuannuan smiled, "I'm doing okay. How about you?" "My life is the same, a bit old-fashioned. "I say. "Most people's lives are old-fashioned, how many people's lives are fresh?" Nuan Nuan said.

"It makes sense. ’ I smiled. Nuan Nuan suddenly took out a piece of paper from her bag and said, "Look." I glanced at it and knew that it was written when I was counting words on Suzhou Street last year. "Why are you here? "I asked. "After the old man gave it to me, I always wanted to give it to you, but forgot." Nuan Nuan took out the blank paper and pen again, "You write it again. The old man said, maybe the words will change." I was in the car I found a flat place and wrote another couplet for the Tainan City God Temple. "Your writing is a bit different." Nuan Nuan compared the writing on the two pieces of paper and said, "For example, the word "I" is no longer sharp, but looks like an arc." I also looked at it and found Indeed.That probably means I'm sophisticated or tactful.

A year and a half into the workforce, I've learned to compliment the style and color of a supervisor's tie. Nuan Nuan also wrote the couplet of Wuhou Temple in Chengdu again, and I found that Nuan Nuan's characters had hardly changed. As for the arrangement and horizontal and vertical arrangement, the arrangement of me and Nuannuan has not changed, and the arrangement of characters is also straight. I still have inner restraints, Nuan Nuan always lacks courage. Nuannuan and I are like the Wanfu Pavilion. First let the giant Buddha of Madara stand up, and then build it to accommodate the giant Buddha; we have never racked our brains to think about how to change the environment and put the giant Buddha in the Wanfu Pavilion.

"Facing the future, what are your plans? "I asked. "Just live, what are you going to do?" "That's right. ’ I said, ‘But sometimes when I think about it, it seems so mundane. ""Let others chase the extraordinary." Nuan Nuan said with a smile, "When most people are extraordinary, the extraordinary becomes ordinary, and the ordinary becomes extraordinary." "You are very open." "I say. "That's the only way." Nuan Nuan said. Regarding the reality of separating the two sides of the strait, Nuan Nuan and I seem to want to do something, but we can't change anything.

"We are like the story of two girls, Xiaoxin and Ali. "I say. "Xiaoxin and Ali?" Nuan Nuan was puzzled. "Ok. ’ I said, ‘Xiaoxin bought a fish, but Ali didn’t want to cook it. ""And then?" "There is no more." ’ “Yeah?” ‘That’s why Xin has fish but Li doesn’t cook it. Nuan Nuan opened her eyes wide, with an expression on her face that seemed to be hesitating whether to be angry or laugh, and finally decided to laugh. "Liang Liang." Nuan Nuan said, "I didn't expect that I could tolerate you for so long." "Thank you for your hard work." "I say.

"If we meet again someday in the future, you must tell me that you once said a five-star joke on the train from Harbin to Beijing." "I will." ’ I said, ‘And there will be another five-star bad joke. "This is an agreement." Nuan Nuan smiled. "Ok. ’ I nodded. Nuan Nuan and I have no plans or plans for the future, but we have certain expectations. Nuannuan and I walked back to the box, the lights were dimmed, and the two Beijing girls should have fallen asleep. Nuannuan said goodnight softly, and we each lay back in our own lower berths. I closed my eyes and began to rewind the scenes of the past few days after Beijing.

The reunion is always short, and the parting is too long. I have to record these scenes carefully, because there will be more time to reminisce in the future. Time goes by bit by bit, and the sound of the train going forward is always heard, which is a precursor to insomnia. I sighed, slowly groped to the door, gently opened the door, and slipped out sideways. I was shocked when I met a middle-aged man who went to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Because his eyes were glazed, his expression was blank, he walked slowly and swayed from side to side as the train moved forward. If you've seen the movie "Keep Out of the Graveyard," you probably thought he was the living dead, as I did. "Why did you come out?" I turned my head and rubbed my eyes Nuan Nuan. "Because I can't sleep. "I say. "Then I will accompany you." Nuan Nuan said. When a man who quit smoking for his girlfriend starts smoking again, everyone will usually ask in surprise, "Huh? Didn't you quit smoking?" But Nuan Nuan and I are the kind of people who don't say a word. Because we know the meaning behind the man smoking again. So Nuan Nuan and I will not ask each other why we can't fall asleep. "It's my turn to ask you a profound question." After a long time, Nuan Nuan said. "Just ask. "I say. "Why don't you come back to Taiwan from Suzhou, but come to Beijing?" "Because I kept thinking about the past in Beijing last summer, so I came to Beijing." "I say. "Beijing is so charming." Nuan Nuan smiled. "It's not because I miss Beijing. ’ I said, ‘It’s because I miss someone. "Can I keep asking?" Nuan Nuan said. "Can't. "I say. "Then I won't ask." "But I have to answer. ’ I said, ‘I went to Beijing because I missed Nuan Nuan. 』Nuan Nuan didn't reply, she lay quietly on the car body, with a slight smile on her face. "I want to sleep." Nuan Nuan said. "Go to sleep." "I say. "What about you?" "I can't move because the wave of longing has swallowed me up. "What are you talking about?" "Ah!My nose was flooded, and I couldn't breathe. "You're less boring." Nuan Nuan said. "It's gone. ’ I said, ‘Save… life… ah…’ “Don’t be ashamed here.” Nuan Nuan pulled me back to the box, “Go to sleep.” I lay back on the bed in the dark, closed my eyes and still didn’t feel sleepy . "Cool and cool." Nuan Nuan said softly. "Ok? "Extend your right hand." Although I was curious, I still stretched out my right hand, Nuan Nuan's left little finger hooked my right little finger. "do what? "I asked. "Didn't you say you're dead?" Nuan Nuan smiled softly, "I have to hook you up." I felt warm again in my heart, my whole body gradually relaxed, and my eyelids began to feel heavy. "Since we hooked up, let's just make an agreement." Nuan Nuan said. "Agreement? ""If you suffer from insomnia in Taiwan in the future, you will think of tonight. Okay?" "Yes." "Good night." Nuan Nuan said. Nuan Nuan and I drooped our hands naturally, but we still kept our little fingers hooked. I know that the little fingers will be separated after waking up, but at least the little fingers are hooked before going to sleep. This is enough. It was dawn, and the train arrived in Beijing. I don't need to call the alarm clock on my mobile phone, but the chatting and laughing of those two Beijing girls can wake me up ten times. "Taiwan boy, I have to say goodbye." The tall girl said, "Don't cry." "Don't be reluctant to let us leave." The thin girl said, "We are a flower who never turns back." "It's not reluctant. ’ I said, ‘I wish I could. "What are you talking about?" Nuan Nuan gave me a look. The two Beijing girls walked away laughing, but they disappeared, but I could still hear their laughter. As soon as she walked out of the station, Nuan Nuan had to go back to work at work, said that she would come to me when she was done with work, and left. I watched Nuan Nuan's back disappear into the crowd, and felt an indescribable loneliness in my heart. But I still have to stand strong, maintain normal breathing, heartbeat and dry eyes. Because I have to rehearse first, try to bear the force of this separation, so as not to be knocked down by this force at the official performance tomorrow. "Hey!" Someone suddenly patted my shoulder, turned around, and stood behind me with a warm smile. I opened my mouth wide, surprised and delighted. "Have you ever taken the subway in Beijing?" Nuan Nuan smiled, "Let's sit together." "You..." "I just want to give you a surprise." Nuan Nuan was very proud. Nuan Nuan took me into the subway station, took Line 2 to Line 1, and got off at Wangfujing Station. Leaving the subway station and walking slowly back to the hotel, there is Jiayonghe Soymilk diagonally opposite the hotel, we had breakfast there. "Is Yonghe Soymilk famous in Taiwan?" Nuan Nuan asked, "There are many branches in Beijing." "In Taiwan, soymilk is called Yonghe, Wendan is called Madou, and Gongwan is called Hsinchu." "What are you talking about?" "It means that Yonghe soybean milk is very famous." "I say. Thinking back to the past of drinking soy milk last year, I was also from the bean family. The taste of soy milk is much more humanized. At least soy milk does not need to test your taste. "Do you prefer soy milk or soy milk?" 』I asked Nuan Nuan. "Soy milk." Nuannuan replied. "A beauty is a beauty. ’ I said, ‘Even the tongue is different from others. "You're less boring." Nuan Nuan said. After breakfast, we walked back to Taiwan Hotel, then I went upstairs, and Nuan Nuan took a taxi back to work. Although I knew it was impossible this time, before I entered the elevator, I still looked back to see if Nuan Nuan was behind me. Sure enough not. He dragged his heavy steps into the room, put down his luggage, and sat by the bed in a daze. Realizing that he should find something to do, he got up and went into the bathroom to take a hot shower. After washing, he sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, and then lay down. It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon after waking up, and I checked my phone, but there was no call or text message. Since I got off the plane three days ago, when I woke up and opened my eyes, I would definitely see Nuan Nuan. But now the room is empty and it's just me. Feeling that the room was being squeezed against me by an invisible force, I couldn't breathe, so I went downstairs and walked out of the hotel. Walking on Wangfujing Street, today is Sunday, the pedestrian street is crowded with people. I walked aimlessly, with a pace and mood that were out of tune with the crowd on the street. At the entrance of East Chang'an Avenue, turn right and continue straight on East Chang'an Avenue until you reach Tiananmen Square. This square, which can accommodate a million people, still feels empty even though tens of thousands of people have poured into it now. After passing through Tiananmen Square, I bought a ticket and entered the Forbidden City. Last year when He Nuannuan visited here, it was midsummer, and the sun shone on the golden tiles, shining brightly. Now because of the snow that fell three days ago, the Forbidden City has been dyed white, and it looks a little bleak and desolate. I wander around, everywhere is full of warm and warm memories. In the end, when they walked to the Royal Garden, Lian Lishu's hair was grayed out due to the snow, but they hugged each other tightly all the time. The Lianli tree is still a symbol of pure love. Regardless of whether it is summer or winter, black hair or white hair, it tries to remind people how precious pure love is and deserves to be praised. If one day, men and women in the world can treat each other with a pure heart, why do we need Lian Lishu to remind us of the innocence of love? At that time, Lian Lishu can die with a smile on his face. So Lian Lishu is still alive because people still need to be reminded. Leaving the imperial garden and walking out of the Shenwu Gate, the moat has accumulated some ice and snow, and it may completely freeze after a while. The phone rang suddenly, and after a glance, it was Nuan Nuan. "Cool and cool." Nuan Nuan's tone was urgent, "Where are you?" "Beside the moat outside Shenwu Gate. "I say. "I'll go over right away." Nuan Nuan was still a little anxious. "Let's take the car. ’ I said, ‘Not right away. "Huh?" Nuan Nuan was taken aback, then said, "Hello." "I know." ’ I said, ‘Don’t worry, take your time. 』I watched the slowly flowing water in the moat. Could it be that the moat had frozen when the warmth came? "Cool cool!" Nuan Nuan called out. I looked back at Nuan Nuan, I hadn't seen her for a few hours, but I was still excited inside. Nuan Nuan babbled, without sequence or logic. I sorted it out, and it turned out that she came home to take a shower after she was busy, and she was about to come to me after taking a shower, but fell asleep. "I couldn't find you at the hotel, I thought you went to the airport to catch a flight back to Taiwan." Nuan Nuan said. "I didn't hear you say goodbye, I won't leave. "I say. In winter in the north, it gets dark quickly, Nuan Nuan asked where do you want to go for dinner? "Let's eat Chongqing vegetables. "I say. "You can't eat spicy food?" Nuan Nuan was surprised. "But you like to see me get dizzy. ’ I said, ‘Isn’t it? "What are you talking about?" Nuan Nuan said, "Let's eat the authentic Northeast pickled cabbage and white meat pot." I believe that the pickled cabbage and white meat pot that Nuan Nuan brought me to eat must be from the Northeast, but I am a little absent-minded. The upcoming parting made my heart freeze, and I couldn't talk and laugh with Nuannuan normally. Nuan Nuan seemed to feel it too, and the words gradually became less and less, and finally calmed down. "Warm. ’ I tried to break the silence, ‘Do you know what Mary’s last name is? ’”Yeah?” Nuan Nuan seemed taken aback, “What’s Mary’s last name?” 『Kurismos. "I say. "Huh?" "Because everyone said: Merry Christmas." Nuan Nuan looked at me with wide eyes and said after a while, "Thank you for your hard work." "It was really hard work." "I say. Nuannuan just let out a little laughter at this time, so I simply smiled. "When you celebrate Christmas this year, remember this. "I say. "Okay." Nuan Nuan smiled. After dinner, Nuannuan took me to Lao She Teahouse to drink tea and listen to an opera. The teahouse is antique, trying to reproduce the teahouse culture of old Beijing. Nuan Nuan has already booked a seat. When we sat down, we found that the performance hall was full of people, and most of them were foreigners. The performances include Peking Opera, ventriloquist, acrobatics, cross talk, Quyi, etc., and even Chinese Kung Fu. I have seen face-changing performances on TV before, but now I see them with my own eyes, my eyes are still not as quick as the actors' hands. "I'm going to sell prostitutes——" the Peking opera performer on the stage dragged out a long ending, "Volume." I smiled unconvincingly. After leaving Lao She Teahouse, it was late at night, and Nuan Nuan and I were walking on the street. I don't know why, it seems like a tacit understanding, we don't want to take a taxi, we just want to go. Passing through the front door, the ancient city building is illuminated by thick yellow projection lights, which looks very beautiful. This is probably the best combination of modern technology and ancient architecture. Against the background of the front door, the night in Beijing has a charming temperament. Nuan Nuan and I hardly talked, and occasionally we just smiled briefly when our eyes met. I tried hard to think what else to say, because this was the last night in Beijing. It suddenly occurred to me that last year Nuan Nuan always yelled or hinted that she wanted to visit Nuan Nuan, but this time when she came to Beijing, Nuan Nuan no longer mentioned going to Nuan Nuan. Go straight to the east side of the square, Tiananmen Square is on the left, go to the end and turn right to East Chang'an Avenue. "About you want to go to Nuannuan..." I said. "I know." Nuan Nuan didn't let me finish, "Xiao Xin bought a fish, but Ali didn't want to cook it." "Actually, I..." "Don't say it, I understand it in my heart." Nuan Nuan smiled slightly , "It's enough if you have a heart." Although Nuan Nuan said so, I still feel guilty. "terribly sorry. ’ I said, ‘This should be just a small wish. "For the so-called wish, it's better to have some things come true and some not." Nuan Nuan said. "why? 』"My wishes come true, what's the point of being alive?" Nuan Nuan smiled. "Do you have a wish that has been fulfilled? "I asked. "Yes." Nuan Nuan said, "Aren't you in Beijing now?" Nuan Nuan had a satisfied smile on her face. I also laughed, because it is also my wish to come to Beijing to find Nuan Nuan. On the broad East Chang'an Avenue, traffic still flows late at night, and pedestrians are like ants walking around the corner. "Here." Nuan Nuan took out something, and I caught it with my palm. It is a deep red, even a little purple leaf, shaped like an oval. "The red leaves in Xiangshan." Nuan Nuan said, "I went to Xiangshan to pick them up the day after your birthday." "It's probably not a maple leaf." "I say. "This is the sumac leaf. It turns red in autumn, and the color is thicker when the frost is heavy." Nuan Nuan said, "Your birthday is the frost season, and the red leaves are the reddest and most colorful. It just happens to be a birthday present for you. Do you like it?" . ’ I nodded, ‘Thank you. "Some people say that autumn in Beijing is the most beautiful, because at that time the red leaves of Xiangshan are all over the mountains, redder than flowers, as if on fire, and the scenery is very beautiful." Nuan Nuan said, "So it is best to go to Beijing in autumn." "Autumn Probably back to Portman. "I say. "Do you remember that poem?" Nuan Nuan said. "Ok. ’ I said, ‘Thank you. "Thank you?" "Because you let me see that poem and let me drink a glass of red wine." ""It's the money from the unit." "But the intention is yours." Nuan Nuan didn't say anything, just smiled. Turn left into Wangfujing Street, almost all businesses are closed, and the bustle of the day is quiet. I wanted to put that red leaf in my wallet, but just as I opened the wallet, the oncoming photos made me fascinated. "Are you looking at photos of your lover?" Nuan Nuan joked. "yes. 』I handed the wallet to Nuan Nuan. Nuan Nuan blushed after just looking at it, and said, "Why is my photo here?" "I say. "In a few years, maybe I won't look like this anymore." After Nuan Nuan looked at it for a while, she returned the wallet to me. "You will always be like this in my heart. "I say. "It's as if we won't be able to see each other later." Nuan Nuan glared at me. "I was wrong. ’ I said, ‘I apologize. ’”I accept.” Nuan Nuan said. The Taiwan Hotel was right in front of us, only the width of a road remained, Nuan Nuan and I stopped at the same time. Before putting Hongye in the wallet, I saw the words on the back of Hongye. It should be the small characters written by Nuan Nuan with a brush: The Ming Dynasty is a long road, and I cherish this moment. "Do you have a new wish? "I say. "I hope that when we meet next time, I will still look like this." Nuan Nuan said, "What about you?" "Hey. ’ I smiled. "Then I will live well and wait for my wish to come true." Nuan Nuan also smiled. Nuan Nuan waved her hand, got into a taxi, and walked from west to east. I crossed the road, from south to north, and entered the restaurant. Go back to the room and pack up the luggage, open the window, sit on the small balcony, and enjoy the last night in Beijing. Gradually feel cold, close the window, lie on the bed, and wait for the dawn. Its daybreak. Zip up the suitcase, put the air ticket and Taiwan compatriot ID into the carry-on backpack, and then go downstairs. After completing the check-out procedures, I sat on the sofa in the lobby of the hotel, facing the gate. Nuan Nuan appeared, walked up to me slowly, and stopped. I stood up. "Hey, Liang Liang." Nuan Nuan said. "Hi, warm. "I say. "Let's go." Nuan Nuan said.
