Looking at the snow that flooded over his wheels, he was bent over at the moment, looking for something in the snow.
"Bonne? what are you looking for"? I jogged over to him and then shouted with my hat on.
He looked up at me, his hair was covered in snow at the moment, shook the snow from his hands and said, "I dropped my car keys in the snow, I'm looking for them."
"What? The keys, the snow is so deep." I looked around the car and saw that the snow was thick enough to reach more than the neck of my foot, so I couldn't find it that way.
"Wait a minute", I ran back to the hotel, it seemed like I just instinctively wanted to help, and regardless of Yang Yiqing's surprised look, I just took it for granted that I borrowed a pusher out from the hotel.
I pushed the pusher over toward the snow shoveled next to the car, scraping off a thick layer of snow, then I squatted down and started rummaging through the snow in the pusher for my keys.
"Can't find it forget it ......" Yang Yiqing's voice sounded behind me. He seemed to want to pull me up. But I was literally flopping around in the snow. Maybe when he saw me struggling to find something overhead, he might have thought I was still a little cute. Maybe it was because of Li Dongyang's powerlessness towards many of his behaviors, in any case, I seemed to sell my strength to "please".
"It's okay, it can be found." I continued to pick at the snow, my hands instantly freezing red, my fingernails were filled with snow, and the biting cold quickly traveled through my fingers to the inside of my body. The eyelashes were also icy with snow particles.
A little later, between the car's tires and the snow, I saw a black key ring, and I hurriedly reached my hand over to pick it up:
"Wow, found it." I grabbed the black keychain and smiled happily as the doorman at the door looked at us, thinking we were playing a game. I carefully handed the key to Yang Yiqing. He seemed to freeze for a moment, his feet were covered in snow, his gloved hand took the key, then took his scarf off and wrapped it around my hand:
"It's too cold, you're freezing red, get in the car."
"Oh, okay, that's fine, I'm going to Wangfujing later, I ......"
"I'll send you there, I'm also on my way." Yang Yiqing's voice became cold again after the anxiety he had just felt, and his tone rang out like a command.
Instantly, it seemed like we had known each other for a long time, and the familiarity of the situation offset the chilly atmosphere. For my part, I got into the car with him.
Just as I made it to the car, I saw a large bouquet of flowers in the backseat of the car, along with a beautifully wrapped gift box.
It seemed like he was out for something, did I show up at a bad time. I got into the car holding my seatbelt hand not knowing if I should buckle it or not, just feeling that so many times it seems to be beyond my expectations. And I always show up unexpectedly, I feel like I'm just so out of place like Li Dongyang.
"Bonne, that, you can just walk me to the subway station, it's that intersection up ahead, I can get there on my own no problem". I said with a smile, not wanting him to see how embarrassed I was.
"It's fine, by the way." Yang Yiqing finished with a foot on the gas and accelerated to drive onto the elevated.
His cell phone rang 2 times on the way, then went quiet. I wondered if it was inconvenient for me to answer it in my presence. I just wanted to get to my destination quickly. Instead of helping him, I was doing him a favor.
Around 7:00 p.m., the elevated starts to get congested. The car was parked halfway down the road, and could not get off before or after, so it could only sit still and wait. At this moment, Yang Yiqing's cell phone rang again. His hands on the steering wheel, when the phone rang the fourth time, he finally picked up, and in the meantime, I did not dare to come out of the atmosphere, just looked straight out the window, pretending to know nothing. "Hey, I'll be right there ...... I still have something to do, see you next time ......" a delicate female voice rang ...... "Okay." Yang Yiqing briefly answered 2 words, and then hung up the phone, my mind circled a variety of possibilities: "Girlfriend, acquaintance, look at him rushing over like this, and the flowers and gifts in the back of the car, it is definitely a female, and the relationship is not ordinary.".
"You just said you're going to Wangfujing, what are you going to do?" Yang Yiqing asked suddenly.
"Ah, I'm going to buy some specialty items and get something to eat." I said with a smile.
"En, I have time now, we can have a meal together over there, I know a good restaurant." Yang Yiqing finished speaking and accelerated the gas pedal, rushing down the elevated.
It seemed that the anxiety in his heart was gone, or the work was nearing its end, the road was smooth and unimpeded, and Yang Yicheng had become calm from the impatience he had just felt.
There is a hot air lamb in the neighborhood of Wangfujing is very good, Yang Yiqing locked the car, then looked at me and said, the posture seems to be not to be resisted.
"It's okay, I haven't had lamb in a long time either." I responded with a smile, then watched the specialty store behind me get farther and farther away.
Yang Yiqing familiarly ordered the food and then took the sauce, and ate without avoiding it. I didn't order any wine, but after I drank some soup, I started to feel happy as if I was drunk, and my happiness skyrocketed.
"Waiter, one more of this", Yang Yiqing said as he pointed to the hot air lamb on the menu.
I looked at the accent he was speaking in, like, like he was from Beijing. I thought to myself this can't be possible, but the doubt was written all over my face and I didn't even dare to look up at him.
"I once spent 2 years in Beijing." Yang Yiqing said as he drank another bowl of mutton soup.
"Ah, you lived in Beijing, so how come you moved back to Shanghai again." I wanted to cover my mouth as soon as I said that, thinking it was too gossipy.
"Something happened back there and I went back to work in Shanghai. Before that I was doing HW in Beijing. It was very close to Wangfujing, and I always came here to eat mutton hot pot at that time." Yang Yiqing said as he began to relax.
"Oh, no wonder, just looking for this hot pot restaurant so familiar, I was walking confused." I also hurriedly drank a mouthful of mutton soup.
After dinner in the evening Yang Yiqing drove me back to the hotel, and I forgot all about buying the specialties.
"This is for you, as a gift for helping me find the key." Yang Yiqing handed me a gift box from the backseat.
"No, really." I hurriedly got out of the car and tried to leave.
"Take it, I still have some things to go out for a bit." Yang Yiqing shoved that gift box in my hand, then drove the Mercedes back to the elevated area.
I stood dumbfounded in front of the hotel with the gift, watching Yang Yiqing's car quickly disappear into the traffic. In my hand was the shiny gift box wrapped in ribbon.
And he rushed off to find the one he wanted to see. Sometimes we don't always remember the things we did and failed, but we regret the things we didn't do and failed.
Yang Yiqing probably just doesn't want to regret himself, so he's rushing to the last moment to see the person he wants to see once, even if it's the worst possible outcome, but he doesn't want to end the relationship because of it without even seeing him.
Just today so many scenes remind me of a person - fine rain, always on the beanstalk, Beijing snow and cold and lonely, and said to eat hot pot must eat hot air lamb ......, the crossroads of the character of this netizen to become three-dimensional.
I looked up at the snow, picked up my cell phone and took a picture of it, then posted a Douban comment, "Today's snow in Beijing is cold, but not lonely."
When I got back to Shanghai from Beijing, I rescheduled my flight and didn't join the group. I should have arrived in Shanghai in the afternoon, but I arrived in advance at about 10:00 in the morning. Before I opened my mouth, I thought in my heart that Yang Yiqing should agree or not, but I didn't expect him to have no opinion. After checking the information and the business trip report with my manager, I dragged my luggage to the airport.
To Shanghai, as soon as I got off the plane, I dragged my luggage to find Li Dongyang, today is Sunday, he was probably celebrating last night, and now he is probably in the huffing and puffing. In the cab, I dialed his phone number, but always replied: the phone number you have dialed is turned off.
The cab quickly got off the elevated, I was shaken and vomited inside the car, suddenly there was a voice in my head: was I wrong, was the tone of my last conversation with him too heavy, work is important, but his birthday is also important, was I only thinking about myself, I really didn't seem to think about him, was I too selfish... ...Tears seeped from my eyes as I thought of this:
"Master, please drive faster."
"I know ......" Master accelerated forward on one throttle.
Women in love feel like they're the main characters of Korean dramas, so the tears and all that are just adding to the drama for themselves.
Just arrived at Li Dongyang's downstairs, I hurriedly pressed the elevator. While stomping my feet, I thought, "Hurry up, hurry up, please."
"Hey, open the door." My hair was blowing loose and messy, and the box had broken off a piece from dragging it too hard.
"Who is it, early in the morning." Li Dongyang's hair is messy, wearing a folded shirt, bare feet on the glowing floor, he carefully opened the door. Seems to see my moment also startled, while I was a strong excited shout and the wind blown red face.
"How did you come back. You are not the afternoon ......" Li Dongyang just finished the whole body propped up the door, seems to not want me to see inside.
"I came back early, I came to see you, you are not microblogging that you are very sad." I let go of the hand dragging the box, grabbed his arm for a while swaying, then a big foot towards, pushing him straight into the house, the
"Hey, wait, wait," Li Dongyang's voice came from behind him, jogging to catch up with my steps.
