The wall clock was ticking, I had not been asleep, and when it was nearly twelve o'clock, I heard the sound of the courtyard door opening, my body sitting up the box slightly straight, listening to my ear, not long after, as if I heard the sound of footsteps gradually approaching in the corridor.

Inexplicably, I carefully put the box to one side, barefoot, standing in front of the door but listening to the footsteps at the door suddenly stopped, holding my breath, I gently put my hand on the door, the air, quiet as if it was stuck...

One second, two seconds, three seconds, outside the door, a faint "tick" sound.

It was the sound of the lighter, I did not open the door, just stood in the same place, I know, he was outside the door, in the door, but did not understand himself, why, do not take the initiative to open the door.

He should have stood outside the door to smoke, more than ten seconds later, I heard the rustling sound outside the door of the friction, then, is a long quiet, holding the corner of the mouth, I turn back to lean on the door, I know, he is leaning on the door to sit on the ground, can not say the feeling, we are obviously very close, close, a door panel distance, but far away, he would rather sit outside the door, I do not want to open this door...

The "tick" will still sound, I sat in the door half holding my knees and holding my face, "two cigarettes..."

“Three cigarettes...”

“Four of them...”

“Five of...”

So quiet, I felt as if I were clinging to his back, and I could even see him at the moment, with a calm face, sitting outside the door in a self-abuse way to relieve my nerves.

“Oliday, you should put it down too.”

I murmured, and did not make a voice, "Put it down, it will not be so painful..."

More than an hour later, I heard the sound of his rise, footsteps gradually walked away outside the door, if I opened the door now, maybe I would see his elongated shadow in the corridor, his mouth smiled, obviously relaxed, but heart, how can I still twitch the pain here in Lu Pei.

I am enlightened, I know the white fox's arrogance, but why, I will still cry here in Lu Pei, who can tell me that this is the case again?

...

The next morning, Lu Pei or I went downstairs first step out, I simply packed up to usher in Xu uncle to find the door of the dance teacher, early in his early 30s, the temperament is very good, after entering the door very politely said hello to me, but also called me Mrs. Lu.

"Do you want to learn from the basics first."

“No.”

I shook my head, pulled out my phone and pulled out the music to look at her, "This song, help me make a dance."

She listened carefully for a while, I know that the people Xu uncle is looking for must be no problem, this matter he must also pass the gas with Lu Pei, so I do not have to worry about professional.

“The white fox?”

She looked at me with the first few words, "I know this song."

I said, "Can I make a solo dance?"

She didn't hesitate, "No problem."

I laughed, "Don't be too hard."

"Don't worry."

Looking at her, she is confident that I am also happy, "Then I need to give you a few days?" 」

“When does Mrs. Lu want to learn?”

"The sooner the better."

She thought for a moment, "In those two days, I will record it in the practice room and send it to you, if you think it's okay, I will teach you at the door."

“All right.”

It was very pleasant to talk, to send her out, she looked at the view of the yard and some envy, "Mrs. Lu, do you want to jump to your husband to see."

“Hmm.”

She smiled when she got into the car and looked at me, "With all due respect, this song is beautiful, but the mood is a little sad, there is always a meaning of asking."

I said, "But this is my favorite song, learn this first, and then, if you like it more, you have to trouble."

"Don't say that, it's an honor to teach you."

Seeing that Uncle Xu started the car to send her away, I came close to a somewhat sly supplement, "The track should be kept secret, oh, I want to surprise my husband."

"I understand."

She smiled and said goodbye to me politely, and then raised the car window to leave.

I was in the yard for a while, the security guard at the door still stood there like the door god, trying to shield them, I went to the corner to look at the flowers, the phone sounded from the pocket, after answering is the voice of Qin Sen, "Wow four, you are okay."

"Very well."

“I know about you, there’s a lot of pressure on the two of you, right?”

“Hi, it’s nothing.”

I pulled the green leaves on the small flower seedlings in my hand, and listened to Qin Sen's mouth there, "Listen to the tone, you should be in better shape than I thought, what are you busy with?"

“Look at the flowers.”

I crouched down and looked at the low seedlings at the base of the wall, "Uncle Xu gave me the name, the name of this flower said Lonesha Gem, the monthly season of climbing the wall, next year, it will be full of a wall, it is white pink, especially beautiful... Unfortunately, this flower only opened for one season, Xu uncle said that Lu Er is very careful, he also let Xu uncle interspersed with other seasons of flowers, so that next year, in addition to winter, I can see a courtyard wall in three quarters!"

“The gemstone?”

Qin Sen said over there, "I seem to have seen it, it's suitable for you."

I laughed, “It’s the right thing for me...”

It is pure.

I know the general title of this flower, and I know that it is a rose, but the name of this flower has been specially checked online after Xu Shu said, the dragonsha gemstone, the petals are white, the heart is tender powder, like a girl who understands, I think, in the heart of Lu II, I will always be the 19-year-old.

That, squatting in his doorway to sleep, was awakened by the sound of his car flute, and then ran to him, let him take me, give me finger-tip blood, let him tutor me homework.

In the past, I always felt pain, the deepest memory is that I collapsed and cried under my own house, but now I think back to the good days, I am like a fighter, I heard what the green coat fairy recommended to force Lu Pei to take me to exorcism.

He obviously had a fever, but I was very excited, feeling that this was God's chance to play for me, I played a lot of chicken blood that year, because my mother's beautiful person, because Uncle Shen, I was pushed in front of Lu II, and then I had to admit that I first fell in love with him.

Although he continued to emphasize that he was chasing me in the future, I always felt that it was my first confession, even five years later, it was also in my confused state, forcing Lu Er to follow suit.

I’m on my own, so where do I have regrets?

“It’s really appropriate.”

Qin Sen's voice gently said, "Knowing that you are adjusting well, otherwise, I can't rest assured."

"I'm fine, you're all right now, are you working?"

"Well, then I'll keep busy on this side, if you have something, call me, don't be stiff yourself, I will help you..."

I sour my nose, or nod my head, "Okay."

I put down the phone I still made a little bit of Xu uncle sticker wall to the flower to build a bamboo shelf, see which piece of loose, find the pliers to tighten the wire, is doing, Xu uncle drove back, saw me work immediately came to help me, "Wow four, I come to get it, Mr. Qin how not to sit for a while to go ah."

“Who?”

I looked at him, "Qin Sen."

“Yes, I just passed by his car when I came back, didn’t he come...”

I turned down, “No.”

Uncle Xu was puzzled, "Isn't it strange that Mr. Qin came here for no reason to do, and I thought he came to see you."

I thought for a while and understood that Qin Sen still had the distance he was used to keep, without making more noise, and the flower rack returned to the house.

The body does not know what is wrong, it is really sinking day by day, it is easy to get tired, I want to wait for Lu Pei back, but after dinner to go upstairs for a while, the eyelids will fight, when they fall asleep do not know, and then open their eyes, he went again.

It's strange, isn't it, Xu uncle said that Lu Pei comes back every night, but we can't see each other.

"Mr. Bai, Mr. Lu and I said that you have been in good shape recently, and he is very happy to hear it."

Xu uncle's microphone always do the due diligence, I heard it is a smile, the phone received the dance teacher sent a video, click to sit on the sofa slowly look, she danced very beautiful, there is not much professional action, light jump, rotation, are within the range of my layman can accept, I look very into the sense, until finally, she reached out to the camera, eyes expressed a lot of complex feelings, I still cried.

More and more sensibility.

I was very satisfied with her dance, so I called her to come on the same day when she sent the video, so that Xu Uncle packed up a large empty room on the third floor, that afternoon, I followed the teacher to learn to dance, she said I learned quickly, in fact, there is not much movement.

I am a little tired, learn for a while will rest for a while, every afternoon to learn for three hours, two to five o'clock, when she goes, I casually eat lunch to go back to the room, really do not like to move.

Three days, a total of three days, this dance I will dance, but there are some astringent, the first time, the complete dance is against the dance teacher, I am very involved, the props are just a white yarn, I rotated not very soft, dance is not so light, but the dance is not so light, but the dance is over, when my hand reached her, she actually cried...

I’m sorry to say I didn’t dance well.

She shook her head, "The most important thing for the dancers to let people see her expression, you are not professional, I do not need to consider flexibility and strength and control, I see, just your interpretation of this song, I am very moved..."

She wiped her tears, "But I don't know why I'm moved, it's sad."

As she left, she said, "Mrs. Lu, I hope that next time I can make you a cheerful dance."

I nodded and promised, went to the yard unconsciously tight tight scarf, she keenly captured my little movement, turned to look at me, "September, the seaside wind is hard, will be very cold, Mrs. Lu, you do not need to send me a call, there is a need to call me, go in, do not catch a cold."

“Good-bye.”

Xu Shu sent her away, and when he came back upstairs, I still had a smile on my face, "Four, you only learned in three days."

“It’s a bad jump.”

I took the white yarn and turned back to Xu Shu, "She also wants to give me some encouragement."

"Where, she said you're going to learn fast."

Xu Shu stood in this house that was changed to a practice room and was still looking around, "Wow four, I asked the workers to add handrails to the wall, I see her professional practice room has handrails, you like to dance, have a hobby is a good thing."

“Say it again.”

Dancing?

I didn’t expect to have a relationship with two words one day.

"That's what Mr. Lu means."

Xu uncle should be behind me, "You rest early in the evening, Mr. Lu heard that you are learning to dance every night to come to see it, I think, he must be looking forward to your work, he will be very happy..."

I pulled my mouth and smiled, downstairs, the phone is still buzzing in my pocket, do not have to look at me can probably guess who, these days, text me the most diligent, probably belongs to Shen Mingya.

First go to a bath, comfortable before the phone is opened, is a strange number, I have some wonder, texting, only four words, "I am Sun Fei."

Sun Fei?

In addition to the text message, she also sent a picture, a screenshot of a text message, three days later to Toronto flight electronic booking information, in addition, no words.

I looked at it and threw it aside, and it didn't take long for Uncle Xu to knock on the door outside, telling me that Lu Pei would not come back tonight, "Wang Si, Mr. Lu said that he may have to go out a long way in the past few days, so that you have to concentrate on your work so that you don't have to wait for him."

“All right.”

I didn't have any expression to say yes, and it didn't make sense to wait, as if I hadn't seen each other for a long time.

It seemed like she didn't want to think of anything anymore against Shen Mingya, she was very good at stew, a little bit, breaking down all the defenses in your heart, but I didn't bother to remind her that I didn't care if I would be cooked by her.

If you have to tell me a big deal between me and Shen Mingya, it is obvious that she won.
