It’s Colder Today

Chapter 4

She walked out with her mobile phone. It was a bit hot and humid, and the natural wind was scorching.

As soon as he looked up, he saw a conspicuous car parked not far away.

It was different from the car he drove to school last time. This time it was Miami blue, with a red and black interior, and a semi-convertible car. He also equipped it with an anti-roll bar and changed the color. The car logo is added to the seat to meet the needs of the co-pilot girl to take selfies.

There was a girl standing next to the car.

He didn’t seem to be afraid of deducting points, so he parked next to the no-parking sign on the side of the road. Holding the steering wheel with one hand, the elbow of the other arm rests on the door. Sitting in the driver’s seat wearing sunglasses, he wears a protective sleeve on his left arm, but not on his right arm.

The sun is very hot.

Although it is very sunny, but with the convertible, it is always forced to be full. He was talking to the people beside the car, and when he saw Shi Yun, he raised his hand and waved to her.

The movement of waving caused the girl standing by the car to turn around, and Shi Yun recognized that girl as the girl who was ‘broken up’ that day and squatted opposite the cafeteria crying.

Wei Congying saw Shi Yun approaching not far away, and he was running out of patience with this good friend’s ex-girlfriend in front of him: “I’m not Yuelao.”

After leaving this sentence, the girl walked away when Shi Yun was about to approach.

Wei Cong should see her go around the front of the car and walk out of the passenger door. She was dressed differently from the first time he met her, not too bright colors, denim skirt with shirt, and a pair of white canvas shoes.

Wei Congying waited for her to get in the car and put on her seat belt, then turned on the ignition with her left hand and shifted gear with her right hand.

It’s still a little awkward for two people who are only meeting each other for the third time.

But most of the people roaming in Fengyuechang have the experience of flirting with strange girls.

Wei Congying slowly increased the speed of the car, but soon stopped at the intersection with the red light on, turned his head and looked at the co-pilot through the sunglasses.

The person watching the co-pilot squinted because of the glare of the sun shining directly into the car. He reached out and pressed the button in the center console to close the roof.

At the hottest time in June, the sun shows no sign of setting at four o’clock.

He didn’t know which one to press among the many control buttons, and the car became air-conditioned.

In the confined space, the dry heat disappeared little by little.

When the green light came on, Wei Zongying withdrew the peripheral vision that fell on her, and broke the silence in the car: “I’ll decide the location?”

Shi Yun had no objection.

It seems troublesome to change gears at start and stop, but it is very easy for him to drive a car with manual transmission.

He didn’t drive to a large business district in the capital, but the consumption level near the business district he went to was not low.

Not far away, there is a screen playing the latest commercial blockbuster of a certain luxury brand this season outside a building with more than 30 floors.

There was some traffic jam in the evening rush hour on the road, and it was not easy to get dark in the capital in June.

After Wei Congying got off the car, he stood by the car and waited for her. He didn’t make an appointment, so he took her directly to the waiter standing at the door, and told the waiter her name.

That name was not his.

The waiter took him to the second floor.

A not-so-big box.

The decoration is Wong Kar Wai’s style, the decoration is designed to hide the sound, and the background music playing in the store does not know where it comes from.

After the prelude was over and the vocals came out, Shi Yun recognized it was Miriam Yeung’s “Girl’s Prayer”.

“Eloped with him in the car along the way and fell in love

No matter how tight you are, you won’t let go

Pray that there are no obstacles on the way

Turn a happy journey into a sad one

The green light passed twice in a row

Love him for a few more kilometers

When this light turns red, we will leave

I live and die by luck

I pray that heaven and earth will spare a pair of lovers

…”

Just when the song was about to reach its climax, the waiter handed Shi Yun the menu, drawing her attention back to the meal from the song. When she took the menu, the person opposite had already flipped through it.

Shi Yun flipped through it for a while, and finally hesitated between the two after-dinner desserts, one was fruit and the other was cake.

The waiter was still standing by and waiting for her. She was embarrassed but couldn’t get tangled up. Ordering both is a waste of food.

Wei Congying had already ordered, watching her shake her head slightly, and looking at the two types of desserts listed on the two pieces of paper, he could see Shi Yun’s entanglement.

He didn’t give her any advice, but he didn’t let her continue to struggle, Wei Congying thought of the first time he met her, she criticized him for wasting food, thought for a while and said: “Each dish is not a lot, you can order more. “

So the waiter wrote down both dishes, and walked out of the box with the two menus under his arm.

Miriam Yeung’s “Girl’s Prayer” has already finished playing. He is sitting in front of the wall designed with random collage and graffiti, and the yellow light shines on the wall.

The yellow-toned light cast his image on the wall, but the graffiti was messy and dirty, and the shadow couldn’t be seen clearly.

When looking at his shadow, they accidentally looked at each other.

When Shi Yun met his gaze, he quickly looked away. This action instead made Wei Zongying smile.

At that time, he attributed Shi Yun’s move to “ignorance of the world”, and it was a long time later that he realized that he was wrong.

Wei Congying started the chat and talked about his situation. He has been a native of the capital for several generations, and he “failed his ancestors” and lived abroad for several years.

He is twenty-five years old, two years older than Shi Yun, and he is a Sagittarius.

After learning that Shi Yun was twenty-three years old this year, he calculated the time in his mind. At this age, he should be busy with graduation defense at this time, but she still has a final exam. He asked, “Postgraduate?”

Shi Yun nodded: “Study medicine.”

She has been very smart since she was a child, just like the students in the whole capital who started fighting with bayonets since they were young, she also took various supplementary classes and various interest classes when she was young.

She burned down several apartments in second-tier cities during the cram school, but she never spent a penny on tuition.

When others were throwing money at the learning summer camp for the “Capital Five”, she took the olive branch thrown to her by the school and compared which school gave her more scholarships.

The possibility of eating with unfamiliar people is basically zero. But he had a good sense of proportion, and when the dishes were served, he stopped talking.

Silence makes people feel relaxed at this time.

The sterilized hot towel handed over by the waiter when entering the room was already cold, and it was placed unevenly on a white porcelain plate.

Shi Yun ate the food in small bites, the food was very good.

At least it suits Shi Yun’s taste. Each dish does not have a tangy aroma, but after the entrance, the taste buds explode.

The sense of taste makes up for the part that is not obtained by the sense of smell at this time.

Shi Yun lowered his eyes, and most of his eyes fell on the table. The person opposite him helped the waiter adjust the plate from time to time, and the sleeve on his left arm was a bit eye-catching.

Especially since he only wears one protective sleeve, which is definitely not used for sun protection.

The sleeves are all black, without any pattern on it, only a line of white English words, which is probably the brand’s LOGO.

Wei Congying saw her eyes fall on his sleeve from time to time, and he also took a look. He explained: “There is a scar on the arm.”

As he said that, Wei Congying thought of her saying that she was studying medicine, so he took off the sleeves, looked at her with a smile, and asked, “Look?”

As he spoke, he stretched out his arm, and the molecules moved, and Shi Yun smelled the perfume on his body.

Woody aroma with a touch of smoky pine in the aftertaste. There is a little bit of sweetness, which misleads the sense of smell, so that people ignore the coldness created by the sweetness.

There is a scar about seven centimeters on his arm.

The location of the scar is on the inner forearm.

Shi Yun looked at the scar on his arm, holding his wrist with a cold hand, and observed it closely.

There was a big difference between the temperature of her fingertips and the temperature of his arm.

This caused the touch of her fingertips to be particularly noticeable on her own arm.

The wound was sutured with staples. She looked at the scar left on the arm, which might be due to his physical problem. The wound recovered very well, and the scar was also light, much better than many centipede types with hypertrophic scars.

“What’s wrong?”

“At the beginning of the year, the bone here was accidentally broken, and I had an operation.” Wei Congying withdrew his arm and put on the sleeve that had faded to his wrist.

In the second half of the dinner, he started talking a little too much. Consciously or unintentionally mentioned the scene of meeting her for the first time.

The way to get someone to like you is to make her realize that you have helped her. When he could get it, he didn’t take advantage of her, kept a distance from her, and put his first impression in the camp of good people.

It’s like executing tactics, one loop after another.

He was not in a hurry to collect the net and check the results, but reminded the waiter that the dessert after the meal was ready to serve.

The dinner ended around seven o’clock.

It was completely dark outside, and it was windy but still felt stuffy.

When walking to the parking lot, a staff member wearing a Kumamon doll costume passing by a Japanese grocery store handed out leaflets to passers-by.

A leaflet was handed over to Shi Yun.

She took the leaflet without reading it, nor did she directly throw it into the trash can not far away.

It was Wei Congying who saw it, and he asked, “If you want to eat, we’ll come to eat next time. You’ve finished the exam, so you should have plenty of time, right?”

Because of his words, Shi Yun subconsciously turned his face away and raised his head to look at the person next to him.

He looked at himself when he spoke just now.

The four eyes are facing each other.

Wei Congying found that the unexplained emotions in her eyes were very complicated. Like a fish biting the hook and trying to struggle, or like a lamb that has been exhausted by the trap and chooses to give up.

When he began to suspect that she did not suffer from the “Scheherazade complex”, she seemed to bite the bait: “Okay.”

His car is a good means of transportation for night drives.

The wind hit the front fender, smashing it apart. It scattered around, blowing Shi Yun’s hair.

Even if he raised his hand and pinned all his hair behind his ears, within a second he was dragged by the wind and flew into the air.

The first-order moonlight shone in the city amidst the orange street lights.

Shi Yun simply tied his hair with the rubber band on his wrist and ignored the fluttering short hair and undulating cuffs.

Wei Zongying’s car is a manual transmission.

All his cars are manual transmission, manual transmission can play the greatest charm of the car.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Shi Yun’s small movements of stroking his hair, and slowly slowed down, and adjusted the gear several times. After the speed of the car dropped to the speed that allowed the roof to be closed during driving, he closed the roof and turned on the air conditioner distractedly.

Her hair was no longer fluttering, her sleeves were resting, and even the Japanese material leaflet she was holding in her hand was quiet.

The road back to the Gangneung Campus of Capital University is the road that passes the East Ring Elevated Road. The shopping mall under the elevated road has been built almost from the outside. She can be counted as a little bit watching the shopping mall from scratch. .

When he drove outside the dormitory area, Shi Yun mentioned that he could pull over and park. He stepped on the brake lightly, but he didn’t stop the car completely: “You want to buy something outside?”

Shi Yun understood what he meant and wanted to send herself downstairs to the dormitory. She didn’t say anything else, but showed him the way: “Then you drive straight ahead… just go the same way as when you came last time.”

Originally, Shi Yun’s major was one of the last ones in the school who passed the exam. Students of many other majors have already gone home for the summer vacation.

There used to be quite a few people strolling around, but now there are not many.

Wei Zongying drove the car to the place where he met Shi Yun at school last time according to his memory. The co-pilot looked sideways out of the car window, fiddling with the leaflet of Japanese materials in his hand.

Soon to reach the destination, Shi Yun turned his head: “Which department is your ex-girlfriend from?”

Wei Congying was taken aback for a moment, but soon realized that what he was thinking in his head was not the same person Shi Yun was talking about.

He explained: “That’s my childhood girlfriend.”

Break up with Fa Xiaolai?

I always feel that the credibility is not very high.

After Shi Yun waited for the car to stop, he stretched out his hand to unfasten his seat belt, and joked a little eccentrically: “You have a wide range of businesses.”

Wei Congying pretended not to understand, and smiled: “Happy to help others.”

Shi Yun thought of the last time he sent his drunken self to the police station, and agreed: “I have a say in this, and I agree.”

Shi Yun responded with his laughter.

The author has something to say:

“Eloped with him in the car along the way and fell in love

No matter how tight you are, you won’t let go

Pray that there are no obstacles on the way

Turn a happy journey into a sad one

The green light passed twice in a row

Love him for a few more kilometers

When this light turns red, we will leave

I live and die by luck

I pray that heaven and earth will spare a pair of lovers

…”
