Incurable Pain

The weather in March in the north is still the temperature that needs to wear down jackets to keep out the cold, but Lin Lan has already blossomed in spring.

Bai Xunyin, who did not return to his'hometown' during the winter and summer holidays for two full years, suddenly set foot on the damp land of Linlan, and felt extremely familiar for a while-perhaps this is the best interpretation of the four words'born and grown in the native' .

In the afternoon, the plane arrived at Lin Lan at more than nine o'clock, and the sky was dark and the stars were shining.

There were not many people on the tarmac. Bai Xunyin stood there and took a few deep breaths. The people around were hurrying, only she was dragging the suitcase.

Bai Xunyin was prepared for Lin Lan's temperature long ago. Naturally, he couldn't wear the wool coat in the north. The thin shirt was covered with a simple creamy white shawl, the jeans were thin, and a pair of canvas shoes were stepped on under his feet.

The two fishbone braids were loosely draped over the shoulders, pure and pure like a student. No, although she is twenty-four this year, she is still a student.

Perhaps because he has not left campus for so many years, Bai Xunyin has always been accustomed to simple casual clothes and not applying powder on his face.

It’s even simpler when I’m in school. I change my two white coats-I just stay in the laboratory all day long.

Yu Wei, who loves beauty in the same bedroom, once ruthlessly criticized her for'not dressing up, she was born with a face that is full of the country and the city'. Bai Xunyin just didn't take it seriously.

She feels that some aspects of herself may be born'lazy', lazy make-up, and lazy to compete with others, so she does not like fast-paced cities and life, and keeps herself in the rush of everyone The usual rhythm.

Until the ringing mobile phone broke the unhurried pace of Bai Xun Yin.

She took it out and glanced at it. It was Amo's call, which was ringing now, and there were seven or eight that hadn't been received when the machine was turned off.

"Bai Xun Yin!!!" As soon as he answered, Amo's loud voice almost pierced her ears: "Why don't you answer my call? Have you arrived yet!"

"It's here." Bai Xunyin responded quickly, for fear that his delay would make Amo angry: "I just got off the plane."

"I'm in the T parking lot." Amo's voice eased a little: "Hurry up."

Hearing that Bai Xun Yin had to speed up his pace, he said helplessly, "Didn't I say that I shouldn't use it to pick it up."

"Yinyin, I know you don't want to trouble me, but isn't this a joke? Can I not pick you up when you come back?" Amo said naturally, "Come here."

She hung up after speaking.

Bai Xunyin looked at the black screen of the phone and shook his head helplessly.

When Amo was in college, he didn’t know what he had smoked. He actually studied'Forensic Medicine'. After graduation, he went to work in the police station. He dealt with the police and various corpses every day, and his people became more and more. Resolutely and resolutely, almost all of them are almost irrelevant.

Bai Xunyin followed her before, and now he dare not resist her.

She obediently pulled the suitcase and ran to the parking lot of T gate. A long way away, she saw Amo's rather sleek Wrangler-the little girl didn't even buy the same car as other girls.

Amo jumped out of the car, ran over and sturdyly gave Bai Xunyin a bear hug, and almost threw him down.

"Ouuuuuuu I want to kill you!" Amo's face was buried in Bai Xunyin's neck, his nose and tears accusing him: "Bai Xunyin, you are too cruel! You haven't come back for two years. One trip!"

Bai Xunyin patted her head helplessly, and coaxed like a doll: "What's the difference? Don't we talk on WeChat every day?"

After hearing such ‘incomprehensible style’ words, Amo couldn’t help glaring at her: "How can it be the same!"

"Why come back? There is no place to live." Bai Xunyin smiled indifferently, as if talking about other people's affairs calmly: "Where is there a short-term rental for more than a month? My grandparents set up a bed and breakfast in the ancient town. , There’s not enough space in normal times, why should I come back and cause trouble?"

These Amo had actually known it for a long time.

But every time Bai Xunyin compares herself to'trouble', she still can't help but feel distressed.

"I'm all right now, I moved out and rented a house by myself!" Amo turned to the serf and sang, clasped her shoulders and said proudly: "Baby, you live with me! Let's live with me in the future!"

Bai Xunyin only turned his head to kiss her, and did not reject Amo's proposal.

She doesn't have a house in Linlan, so she can only live with Amo for a while. After that, she will apply to the professor to enter the research institute, so that the school will allocate welfare housing and naturally move out.

Amo was ‘fortunately’ by this sweet kiss, feeling that he was a little airy.

She stumbled in excitement: "The little fairy kissed me, this is a treatment that many big men and gods who chase you can't enjoy..."

Naturally, Amo knew about the zero love history during Bai Xunyin's college, and he was even more proud of it.

Hey, who makes everyone's favorite Yinyin only like her!

"Yinyin, do you still have no one with you now?" While driving while waiting for a red light, Amo talked to her about his'love life' without changing the essence of gossip: "You look like you, chasing people, I think a prison I can't let it go."

...What kind of magical analogy is this? Amo deserves to be a forensic doctor.

Bai Xunyin shook his head: "No, how about you?"

She didn't want to talk too much about this issue, and naturally changed the subject.

"I, really do." And Amo's'compass' hasn't changed after many years, and she was naturally moved by her. Ming Yan's face is very sweet: "Sheng Wen is chasing me recently!"

This answer was completely unexpected by Bai Xunyin, she couldn't help but froze for a moment: "Sheng Wen?"

"Yeah, he returned to Lin Lan two years ago." Amo mentioned Sheng Wen with an invisible smile in his eyes: "It's just that we haven't been in contact before, and we happened upon a case recently. , He started chasing me."

"But of course I can't be chased by him casually. The hardship I suffered in high school, I must return it to him in full!"

Amo's slender fingers squeezed the steering wheel tightly, and his voice was gritted teeth—obviously he was angry when he remembered his bitter career in high school.

Bai Xunyin blinked and said sharply after a long while: "You still like him."

"...Nonsense." Amo was like a bulging balloon that had been punctured for a moment, and the air he was holding on disappeared: "I tried dating when I was in college, but I always felt something was wrong. I feel sick with my hands. But as soon as I see Sheng Wen...Do you understand the urge that the hormones are on again?"

She sighed in confession: "I feel like I've been planted on him in my life."

Bai Xunyin pursed his lips, stretched out his pure hand to cover the back of Amo's hand, rubbed it lightly, and silently expressed the words ‘I’m here’.

She knows better than anyone Amo's pain when she parted in the third year of high school. In fact, she seemed to be careless during the time when she followed Shengwen, and she was always tortured by the latter's indifference.

Bai Xunyin understands the pain, so she respects Amo's current decision more.

She must have liked Shengwen very much, so she ignored the pains she had suffered, because'scars' are not worth'cure'.

The reason why Amo chose to'reunite' with him and let the past go without blame was that he was planted on him?

Just a broken mirror, can it really be recirculated?

All the way back, Bai Xunyin was thinking about this problem unconsciously, analyzing the framed analysis like a normal research paper, until Amo called her back to God with a single sentence——

"Yinyin, these years... have you connected with Yu Luoyin?"

Bai Xunyin was startled, and shook his head: "No."

"That..." Amo remembered some news circulating in the WeChat classmates, and he hesitated to ask: "Then you want to know..."

"I don't want to." Bai Xunyin interrupted her and said without hesitation: "Amo, I don't want to know about Yu Luoyin."

I haven't mentioned this name in my mouth for several years, and now I suddenly blurted out, it feels a little strange.

Amo looked at her indisputable expression, and his mouth opened and closed a little awkwardly-it was obvious that he wanted to talk and stopped, but in the end he chose to shut up.

It's fine, she doesn't understand it, it's all about hearsay some rumors, it's better not to talk nonsense.

Bai Xunyin smiled dazedly, pushed the car door under Amo's stunned vision, jumped out of the car, and took out his luggage from the trunk.

Already at the house where Amo rented.

Bai Xunyin arrived at Lan Da to report the next day.

Wearing a simple jeans and white shirt, when she walked into this historic and quaint college, she looked almost the same as the youthful students on the campus-or even smaller.

She didn't know why she was always a little nervous about this school. It might be due to the word ‘guilty of heart’. A thin layer of sweat swelled out of her palms during the short journey from the school gate to the teachers’ building.

Bai Xunyin breathed a sigh of relief until he entered.

She had made an appointment to meet Li Chengfeng before, and the journey went smoothly. The staff in charge of registration in the teachers' building checked her ID card and asked her to find someone in the senior professor's office on the third floor.

Bai Xunyin followed his words and knocked on the door twice and heard a low "come in" from inside.

Li Chengfeng is an elegant professor in his fifties. The admission criteria are very strict, but he is kind to the already optimistic students. He smiled when he saw Bai Xunyin and hurriedly asked her to sit down: "Sit down, you Isn't it the Xiaobai recommended by Lao Sun? I've heard his name for a long time."

"Professor Li." Bai Xunyin was naturally looking at Li Chengfeng's photos, but he never expected that the famous Professor Li would be so easy to talk. After listening to the praise, he was a little embarrassed and said busyly: "Where can I be and see you? It's an honor."

"Don't be so humble. The emails you sent before include work results, scientific research results, and ideological and political performance in school. I have read them. It is very good. Old Sun can write you a recommendation letter and find it. The other two old guys helped, I believe you don’t need to question your business ability.” Li Chengfeng smiled: “Did you bring the rest of the things you need today?”

What he said was naturally some master's degree certificate, the final academic certificate, the final academic certificate and so on.

"Bring it here." Bai Xunyin said hurriedly, and handed the sealed folder to Professor Li. He smiled embarrassedly: "Professor, I am a hard-student. I really can't afford you and Professor Sun. Compliments."

"Well, it is good for people to understand that self-humility is good." Professor Li looked down at the document and said calmly: "self-humility, self-confidence, and conceit. It seems that there is a big difference, but it is often just in the middle of a thought."

"Xiaobai, the first time you came in, I felt like you were just a college student, not like a student who has been studying for six years. You are covered with books and smells like copper. It's good. I like you. A good material that is naturally suitable for reading."

Li Chengfeng is worthy of being one of the most authoritative professors in the country.

Bai Xunyin heard it, and was especially educated.

"I like the kind of haughty and self-effacing students, you can understand."

After reading the document, Li Chengfeng closed it and put it in the drawer—this also meant that the dust had settled. He accepted the student Bai Xunyin.

Bai Xunyin's hanging heart fell from the moment he entered the office, and he secretly let out a long sigh of relief.

"Students like you are the ones who really do scientific research." Li Chengfeng held up his teacup, sipped his mouth, and waved to Bai Xunyin: "Go, Xiaobai, go back and prepare for the exam."

Prepare to take a formal exam.

Bai Xunyin stood up and bowed deeply at Li Chengfeng.

The matter of the doctoral supervisor is settled, there is nothing to worry about next, just wait for her to go to Lan University to continue studying after the audit examination in April.

His nerves were tense for six years, and Bai Xunyin had a rare sense of ‘relaxation’—as if he didn’t know what to do and didn’t know what to do.

After thinking about it, she called Amo, who happened to be on vacation today.

The latter answered in seconds: "What's the matter?"

"It's okay, come out shopping."

"Fuck, are you a white sound search?" Amo was shocked across the phone: "You can actually do such a feminine activity of shopping?!"

...

Bai Xunyin didn't want to talk to her very much.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Amo was already urging: "Locate you and send me."

Half an hour later, the two had afternoon tea in the Linlan CBD Golden Commercial District.

"Why do you suddenly think of shopping?" Amo loves all desserts. Relying on his lack of fatness, he sat down and wiped out the chocolate cake on the table frantically. He also tried to feed Bai Xunyin: "Try it."

"Too tired." Bai Xunyin doesn't like sweets, frowning to express disgust, took a sip of the American style in front of him, and answered Amo's last question: "A school girl I know is celebrating her birthday recently. A Gift."

Before Yu Shitian heard that she was going back to Lin Lan, he said excitedly that his birthday happened in late March, and he would be able to catch it when she came back. And ‘ordered’ her to come to her birthday party. It’s not a good sister if she doesn’t come.

Bai Xunyin couldn't help it. It didn't matter if he thought about it, he just had to pick a decent gift.

"Who? Is that the little girl you said you met in the north?"

"Yeah." Bai Xunyin closed the broken hair in his ear, and recalled what Yu Shitian had said to her on the phone before: "She is also Lin Lan's, she seems to be a rich and charming girl in the family."

"You have money... that's too shabby to give it away."

Amo touched his chin and thought, then pulled Bai Xunyin to the luxury store on the first floor, and then took her to try perfume.

"Perfume is the best, and there are not too many essential items for girls." Amo sprayed a little on his wrist with a trial outfit, and leaned over to smell Bai Xunyin: "What about this? It's so sweet."

"Yes, this is our new product this season." The shopping guide on the side interrupted at the right time and said with a smile: "This perfume is called'Youth', and it is most suitable for young girls."

So Bai Xunyin was confused and bought this bottle of perfume as a gift to Yu Shitian. In fact, to her heart, she still felt that the act of buying a bottle of perfume for thousands of dollars was a ‘fool’.

Because she does not belong to the kind of girl who needs such a ‘must-have’.

"Okay, it will definitely save you face." Amo smiled at the luxuriously packed perfume box, and asked casually, "Where is your friend's birthday party?"

Bai Xunyin thought for a while: "It seems to be called'Pingxi Club'."

"Fuck?" Amo was startled, and looked back at Bai Xunyin blankly: "Then your friend is really rich, rich second-generation, right? It is said that Pingxi is not a high-ranking official and can't get in, let alone Said it was a birthday party."

Bai Xunyin didn't expect Yu Shitian to have such a big backing, but he still smiled indifferently: "It's okay, anyway, I'll send a gift."

"How could it be okay!" Amo called, and glanced up and down at her white shirt and jeans: "Are you going to wear this one?"

Bai Xunyin: "No way?"

Amo was serious: "Then you can't even get in the door of Pingxi."

...

Bai Xunyin was speechless, and was unwillingly pulled by Amora to pick out clothes.

"Your clothes are really, not what I said. They are too plain. Do you think you are a high school student?" Amo helped her choose the clothes, while babbling her to educate her: "Now high school students don't have the plain style you wear. No, it’s not that I remembered you telling me that your project salary is quite high, and you don’t have much money to spend, so why don’t you buy a few clothes? It’s all pilling!"

Bai Xunyin silently pulled back a corner of his coat, and said stiffly, "I can wear it anyway."

Amo rolled his eyes, and unbearably stuffed two skirts into Bai Xunyin's arms: "Go try."

Bai Xunyin was forced to push into the fitting room, looking at the two skirts in his hand, his expression was a little dazed.

In fact, she was not so "incomprehensible" before, she still loves to wear skirts, but the weather in the north is cold, sunny days when she can wear skirts every few months, plus she is three hundred and sixty-five days and three hundred a year. I have to stay in the laboratory every day, it is inconvenient to wear a skirt, and there will be nothing in the closet over time.

It's been a rare leisure for two months, and it seems to be worn again.

Bai Xunyin smiled, took off his clothes and put on this dark green suspender skirt.

The high-level tailoring of the skirt is a high-waisted retro style, and the color is also the kind of retro green. It is like the wrap skirt worn by British ladies in the 1990s. It has undergone modern adaptation and embellishment by the designer. Bai Xun Yin's skin is as delicate as porcelain.

The thin shoulder straps point to the thin and slender shoulders, the curving of the chest and the slender waist form an S-shaped curve, and the satin wrap skirt makes the white back and the proud waist-to-hip ratio all at a glance.

This kind of suspender skirt, casually put on an outer lining, is just right to wear in Lin Lan's March sky.

When Bai Xunyin walked out of the fitting room uncomfortably, he keenly felt that the eyes of Amo and the two salespersons went straight.

"Little, miss." The salesperson wiped off the saliva that almost came out, and stammered: "Can I take a picture of you?"

Bai Xunyin: "?"

The salesperson makes a fist: "I think you look better than the model on our poster!"

...

In the end, Bai Xunyin didn't want to try again, so he swiped his card to buy this one.

Until the happy Amo left, Bai Xunyin didn't want to understand why Yu Shitian had to buy clothes for her birthday.

It stands to reason that although she hasn't returned to Lin Lan in recent years, she is also a native, but this Pingxi clubhouse hasn't been heard much before. Is there such an exaggeration that Amo said?

But until Yu Shitian’s birthday, Bai Xunyin rushed over at the agreed time and was a little surprised to find that the place was on the side of "Pu Guan" where there was a lot of money.

She had heard of Pu Guan from Bai Hongsheng's mouth before, Lin Lan's most prosperous business district, and they were all business people.

But it is said that only people with a current asset of more than 50 million and a worth of more than 100 million can have the ‘qualification’ to settle in Puguan, Schrödinger’s qualification.

Taxis can't enter Puguan inner area, they can only stop on the edge of the road.

Bai Xunyin walked for a while before seeing the Pingxi Clubhouse. The seven-story single-floor building, which is entirely painted black, is constructed of marble and glass. Even though the sky is a bit dark, there is still a feeling of'lighting' when you look at it. .

... No wonder Amo said that she would be driven away when she came over wearing a shirt and jeans. Now that she sees such a place as the Pingxi Clubhouse, Bai Xunyin doesn't want to go in.

She stood at the door and hesitated for a moment, then took out her mobile phone and called Yu Shitian.

Five minutes later, Yu Shitian, wearing a shiny pink mermaid skirt, ran out, with a shiny diamond crown on her head, cos a living little princess.

"Sister, why did you come here? I want to kill you." Yu Shitian was still walking like flying in a wrapped fishtail skirt, rushing over in twos or twos to hold Bai Xunyin's arm, smiling charmingly: "Come in, come in! It’s the first time I saw my sister, you wear a skirt, it’s so pretty!"

"Wait...Tian Tian, ​​happy birthday." Bai Xunyin handed her the box in her hand before smiling politely: "I think I may not be comfortable with this environment, here are all of you young people..."

"Chee, why do you pretend to be one year older than me?" Yu Shitian curled his lips and said unhappily, "We haven't seen each other for so long, so you want to send me just a gift? , You must go in and cut the cake with me! I'll have something to tell you later."

...

No way, Bai Xunyin had to be pulled in by her.

When Yu Shitian celebrated her birthday, she just wanted to make her happy, and didn't want to argue.

Fortunately, after entering this quiet club room where every brick seemed to be engraved with ‘money’, Bai Xunyin realized that it was not as noisy as she had imagined.

Everyone was arrogant, gathered together in twos and threes to talk, only to say a few words when the birthday star came back.

Naturally, many people saw Bai Xunyin's eyes light up, and they were busy letting Yu Shitian introduce or introduce something.

"Go away." Yu Shitian naturally knew that Bai Xunyin didn't like these messy noises, and snorted unceremoniously: "This is my sister, hurry up and drink your wine, don't think about it."

Everyone curled their lips and looked at Yu Shitian's extremely "protecting the calf", and they had no choice but to disperse in anguish.

But in other places, she still had to slaughter her. A man in a motorcycle outfit with five or six ear diamonds on his left ear took a bottle of Lafite, and raised his eyebrows at Yu Shitian: "Did it?"

"Come on?" Yu Shitian raised his eyebrows: "Anyway, my brother will come over to help me check out. You can drink whatever you want."

It seems that if someone is backing it up, he is confident and generous.

Bai Xunyin pursed his lips and smiled, and whispered something in her ear: "Tian Tian, ​​I'll go sit there and leave me alone."

She knew that she was a little bit out of tune with this atmosphere, but she didn't want Yu Shitian to take care of her too much, and instead swept her own interest.

"Hmm." Yu Shitian was busy dealing with the people coming and going around, and nodded like a mole: "Sister, go and sit down. I'll look for you to play in a while."

Bai Xunyin nodded, found a corner and sat down.

She still didn't adapt to the crowded and noisy places, and was unaccustomed to other people's open and secret conversations, so she had to take a sip of the wine in front of her from time to time to minimize her presence.

Fortunately, the box Yu Shitian booked was very large, and there would not be so many people who noticed her in the interlaced time.

Bai Xunyin lowered her head to find that the straps of her shoes were open, and she bent over to tie her eyebrows lightly-she had said before that she was not suitable for wearing such micro-heeled lace-up shoes, but Amo wanted her to wear them.

She sat very close to the door, and when she lowered her head, she felt a gust of wind blowing in her ears, it seemed that someone had pushed the door in, and then Yu Shitian's voice sounded in surprise in the distance: "Brother! Here too!"

She seemed to be waiting until the bill was paid, and the little girl was in a good mood.

Bai Xunyin wondered jokingly in his heart, and raised his head to see what Yu Shitian was spitting out from time to time. In fact, what his brother was really relying on in his heart was the'true face of Lushan'. As a result, the moment she lifted her eyes, she was teased. His pupils froze in his eye sockets.

Bai Xunyin had thought that after returning to Lin Lan, he might encounter Yu Luoyin, but in such a big city, every street and every lane would be missed in an instant, or he might never encounter it.

But she never thought that she would meet Yu Luoyin at this time and place.

I never thought that he was the elder brother Yu Shitian was talking about.
