Nanke Yifu Chapter 60
byA smile comes naturally (3)
There is a person outside, passing by for the fourth time.
It’s not that Chi Fu is so idle that he can only stare at passers-by. The main reason is that the person is so beautiful that he can’t forget it with just one glance.
Chi Fu admitted that although he might be a face-controller, this was the first time that he wanted to go over and talk to someone after just one glance.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been too busy these two days. After all, I came to work during the Chinese New Year.I don’t know what I was playing by myself in the past few years. After playing for several years, did I finally have nothing to play?If I had known earlier, I would have taken more classes and now have some ways to entertain myself.
Come to think of it, if someone is not in a hurry, they may be waiting for someone. If you rush there by yourself, you may make the other party feel troubled.
So Chi Fu watched him pass by for the fifth, sixth, and seventh time…
Are you really waiting for something?How many hours has it been?If you were waiting for someone, you should have started swearing, right?
The sky was getting darker and the temperature was getting lower and lower. The man didn’t seem to be wearing too thick clothes. After staying outside for so long, he might have been so cold that he couldn’t feel his hands.
Do you want to go out and bring him a hot drink?But how to say it?I saw you passing by several times. Are you waiting for someone?Do you want to come in and warm yourself up?It might make people feel uncomfortable.And people may not accept things given by strangers.
But he looked really cold, which made Chi Fu feel cold.
I have decided that if people are still around when I get off work, I will deliver them. If I make a few more cups, I will say that there is a lot of ingredients left today and randomly give a share to the people around me.
I hope he will accept it, and it would be better if he could say a few words.
Maybe it was because he prayed sincerely enough that the person he passed by countless times finally no longer passed by him this time, but walked straight over and opened the store door.
“Hello? Are you still open?” He leaned half in, his ears were red from the cold, and his voice seemed to be filled with magic. It was just a plain sentence, but it made Chi Fu’s heart beat faster.
“Of course.” He tried hard to restrain himself and kept his expression within the appropriate range of enthusiasm, and asked, “Would you like a hot drink?”
The man was stunned for a moment. Maybe he didn’t expect that he had hot drinks here, or maybe he didn’t expect that he would ask this question. He nodded slightly and sat across the bar.
Seeing that his eyes were casually scanning the menu, Chi Fu didn’t seem to be here specifically for a certain drink. He turned around before he spoke and made a cup of hot cocoa. It was warm and he felt he would like it.
“Do you drink hot cocoa?” Chi Fu turned his back to him and confirmed.
“Yeah.”
“That’s good.” He handed over the drink, sat down with his chin, and said, “This is for you. Is there anything else you want to drink? It’s almost time to get off work and we don’t have all the ingredients. If I can still make it, I’ll treat you to a drink.”
“Thank you.” The man nodded slightly and said, “This is fine.”
From a distance, you can’t forget it even after just one glance. When you look up close, you can’t take your eyes away.
“You are so beautiful.” Chi Fu still couldn’t hold back and “exposed” himself, “I’ve noticed you for a long time. Are you waiting for someone?”
“Yes.” The cup was held up, and the slender fingers and beautiful nails exposed from the cuffs were steaming. The slightly angular lines due to the thinness were completely softened. “But he has some temporary conditions and can’t come.”
Chi Fu didn’t expect that this question would get a positive answer. How could someone wait for others outside for hours in the middle of winter? The key is not yet there.
“Aren’t you angry?” Chi Fu asked.
“No way.”
Well, it doesn’t matter if he thinks it’s okay, and he can’t say anything if he doesn’t know the situation.
“It’s indeed an emergency. It’s just a pity. We originally agreed to go to the river to watch the night view together.”
Chi Fu felt that today must be his lucky day.
“How about I go with you? I have to get off work anyway, and there is nothing to do when I get back.”
Having nothing to do at home and not knowing how to spend more time with each other were solved at the same time.
“Okay. If it’s convenient for you.”
Of course it is convenient, it couldn’t be more convenient.
Getting off work is a joy, but packing up is not.But just today, Chi Fu thought about it. It turns out that depending on the events that will happen after get off work, the level of happiness is also different. After get off work, you can be so happy that you can even pack your things.
After hanging the small sign and locking the door, Chi Fu asked, “Where are we going?”
“It’s around here.”
Upon hearing it, it was not the place I originally planned to go.
If it is a specific place, it may be an appointment to meet nearby. “Let’s be there”, this “where” is still nearby, 10,000% is for convenience.
I’m not in a hurry, so I can go wherever I want.
Chi Fu asked: “Where did you originally plan to go?”
“Originally…” the other party hesitated and asked, “It’s a bit far, is that okay?”
Chi Fu nodded, no matter how far it is, the worst case scenario is that we can play all night, find a hotel to sleep in during the day, and then come back.
He didn’t expect that this was a bit far, indeed it was just a bit far, Chaoyi, the next city.
The last time I came here was several years ago. I dressed up by myself and played outside for a whole day. I was still young at the time, and I definitely don’t have the energy now.
I bought snacks, fed the pigeons, and wanted to take photos, but the other party didn’t seem to like facing the camera.We went to the small park again, probably too excited. The moment he saw the rockery, the only reaction in Chi Fu’s mind was to climb up. The view from a high place was very different. He could see more, but it was quieter.
The young man standing below smiled and told him to be careful not to miss the mark.
He really had to be careful. He couldn’t see clearly at night, the road under his feet, or the person looking up at him. Chi Fu thought, he had to go to a place with brighter lights.
Please ask for your contact information before leaving. I don’t know if he will agree, but he probably will.
Just as he was thinking about it, the person next to him suddenly asked: “Can I say goodbye to you first?”
Chi Fu didn’t understand. Did he want to go back?But he said “first”.
“Why do you have to say goodbye first?”
“I’m afraid we’ll be scattered by the crowd and won’t have time to say anything.”
“Just shout…that’s right.” After chatting all night, he only realized now, “I don’t know your name yet. I also forgot to tell you my name. My name is Chi Fu.”
“Nan Ke. My name is Nan Ke, Nan Ke of Nan Ke Yimeng.”
Nanke.Such a familiar name, is it because of the idiom?
He should also live in Chaozhi, and we can go back together later. Contact information… I’ll ask you again when we are about to separate. Be sure to remember it, and you will definitely remember it.
…
It’s already this time, let’s go home.
I’m so sleepy and cold. I’d better not go out at night next time.
After hanging up his coat and changing his shoes, Chi Fu went straight to the bed in the study room, planning to rest for a while before cleaning himself up.
The headphones were accidentally knocked off, and one of them seemed to have fallen under the bed, but he didn’t want to go down to pick it up. Chi Fu put his hands on the ground and hung his upper body from the bed. He used a flashlight to see if he could reach it on the bed.
The headphones were not found, maybe they fell under the bookshelf on the other side, but there seemed to be a piece of paper stuck in the gap.
If you come down and pick one up, you’re still picking up. If you pick two, you can still earn one.
It’s just that neither of them is easy to pick up.
After touching the ash in his hand, he finally took it out. Chi Fu sat on the bed and patted the piece of paper he picked out from the gap. It seemed to be a photo. He couldn’t remember when he had developed the photo.
He couldn’t remember the people in the photos.
Or not remembering the other person in the photo.In the photo, I look like I did a few years ago, sitting in a hot pot restaurant with a… very beautiful person.
Feeling like there was a lump of cotton stuffed in his throat, Chi Fu turned over everyone in his mind, and none of them could be the person in the photo.
Did he forget something?
Somehow, Chi Fu thought that there seemed to be a note in the pocket of his coat. He had touched it when he came back. He didn’t remember putting the note in his pocket. Could it be relevant?
Probably not, but Chi Fu still wanted to take a look.
There are three lines of words written on it with a black gel pen. They are very beautiful words, not Chi Fu’s.
“There are previous inspection sheets in the cabinet drawer.”
“Remember to change your identity information.”
“Your abnormality is that you forget a person named Yan Laixi every day.”
Chi Fu didn’t know how he did it, how he pieced together a huge amount of information in an instant, how he accepted it in an instant, and how he accepted the bizarre conjecture.
The vague parts in my memory, the parts I thought were just my own whims, seemed to become clearer, why I left my bedroom to sleep in the study, why there were pairs of clothes and daily necessities, why I was asked why I was alone, and why I always felt that the people around me were hiding something.
His eyes returned to the unfamiliar face in the photo. Chi Fu rubbed his hands on his clothes and took it farther away, fearing that this last piece of evidence would be soiled by the dust on his hands, and that it would be wet by the tears that fell without permission.
It turns out your name is Yan Laixi.
The last sentence on the note was wrong.
Chi Fu thought, my abnormality is not that I forget a person named Yan Laixi every day.
I forget my love every day.
Still, I promise that I will always love you.
I will always love you, even if I will never remember this love.
The so-called love is born from the time spent together, from a sudden glance, from dedication, from longing, even from pain, and from coincidences again and again.The so-called love is just a name, a nice name, for those stupid things, for those stupid things, for those transactions that outsiders think are unequal and incomprehensible, and for those ordinary things.It relies on habits, unique feelings, memories, instincts, and pain and parting. It lingers in the bones and blood and will never go away or be separated forever.
