"When you want to do something, you realize that you can't do anything except eat." After nine months of resignation and lying flat, Zhou Mai sat on the rooftop and watched the setting sun sink.
When he bought the 18th floor, he never thought that he could have such a top-floor rooftop by himself and watch the sunset unobstructed. Fire clouds, birds, and Longtian Lake are all in view.
"It's simple, be a food and broadcast." Feifei leaned lazily on the reclining chair, stroking the cat in one hand and holding a popsicle in the other.
"Be your elbow." Zhou Mai dismissed it.
"Write a book about eating."
"Me?" Zhou Mai pouted, and the setting sun had already sunk by half, "I deducted almost 30 points for my college entrance examination composition. Otherwise, why do you think I didn't go to Peking University?"
"Heh. So you got three books?" Feifei didn't continue to squeeze him in a good-natured manner, "Then think about what you like?"
"You can't treat it as a profession if you like it, otherwise, you won't even like it."
"Can't you chat?" Feifei raised the cat's paw.
Zhou Mai nodded, feeling that he was really annoying. The setting sun has all sunk, and the pink fiery cloud looks like a raised dragon head. Zhou Mai took out his phone to take a photo.
When Huoshaoyun gradually disappeared, Zhou Mai drove Feifei away and went downstairs with her. He was going for a walk, around Longtian Lake. It was almost the only time he was out of the house of the day. He would take a walk for about an hour and a half, a full 10,000 steps. This is the last stubbornness of his home life.
When they parted, Feifei held the cat and tilted her head to look at him: "Zhou Da, I think you have become more handsome."
"roll."
"Really, like a melancholy dog with Tony Leung's eyes."
Zhou Mai ignored her and turned around.
Zhou Mai likes to take a walk on such a summer night. There are a lot of people, seeing children, the elderly, dogs... Yu Feifei thinks of new words every day to irritate me, it's time to break up with her. Zhou Mai calmed down and continued to walk and meet children, old people, dogs, and trees full of oleander flowers, white, pink, and dog shit. Of course there is dog shit, and there are always people who walk the dog without a leash and don't pick up the shit. Zhou Mai jumped over the dog shit, smelled the fishy smell of water emanating from Longtian Lake in the air, dodged the clumps of little flying mosquitoes, and continued walking, 10,000 steps.
Then he saw the woman. The woman was also walking, and he met her every day he walked. She wears skirts every day, white, pink, black, plaid, striped, polka-dot, and canvas shoes, black, white, yellow, wine red, and her hair is always tied up, revealing smoothness The forehead, which makes her facial features clearer and impeccable in Zhou Mai's opinion. Longtian Lake is actually very small, but it was dug by the developer himself. Zhou Mai would have to circle around six times to reach 10,000 steps. The woman was walking in the opposite direction to him, so Zhou Mai had six chances to see her face. She wears neck-mounted headphones, probably listening to music, and she is the one with a sense of rhythm, because her walking posture is exactly the posture of "Sister Lang".
Why is Yu Feifei a little kid and she is a woman? After so long, Zhou Mai thought of this question for the first time. Maybe it's because of her "Sister Lang" attitude when she walks, following the rhythm, catwalking, straight, shoulders swaying, very sassy, and a little aggressive. Although he may be instructed by the old ladies, he has never seen anyone who can walk so blatantly without recognizing their relatives.
If only I could get to know her, Zhou Mai thought as he walked, or would he strike up a conversation when we meet next time?
Zhou Mai thinks like this every day, but he doesn't strike up a conversation every day.

Feifei said that Zhou Mai is a sullen person who likes the kind that no one talks about.
"You like me, but you say it." Feifei is always giggling, "How would I know if you don't say it?"
Zhou Mai and Feifei had been together. During the summer vacation of their freshman year, the two felt bored and said they should try dating. After eating a few times, watching a few movies, and crossing the road a few times, I almost simultaneously said that it is better to be friends. So this relationship can be almost ignored. Zhou Mai talked about the first love in the real sense when he was a junior. He was deeply hurt when he broke up, and was scolded by Feifei a lot of "idiots". Feifei has never been with anyone again. After graduation, both of them took part in the work and bought a house on Longtian Lake together. Buying a house is the operation of her parents. Feifei lives in the next building and has a cat. That cat is like a dog, you can walk it, take a small rope and go away, and often visit Zhou Mai's house.
Zhou Mai seldom went to Feifei's house, and Feifei's house was messy like a dog kennel.
On that sultry afternoon, Zhou Mai made a cup of iced coffee for himself, sat in front of the computer, and started writing his resume. Although I wanted to stay like this every day before I quit my job, I suddenly felt that it was meaningless. What is the meaning? It is probably that people live, they make contributions, they destroy, they build, they love and they hate. It's just that when you lie flat at home, all your advanced feelings will retreat, and people seem to be animals that only need to meet the most basic physiological needs. Asking and contributing, destroying and building, love and disgust, are all related to eating, drinking, and Lhasa. ? And to see people, not only Yu Feifei. he thinks.
what to do? The recruiting website turned round and round, and he finally collapsed on the sofa. The basketball was eating dust in the corner and had not touched it for three months. At the moment of resignation, he did not expect such a day, and it was not easy to find a job.
Regret may have been looming long ago, but at this moment the feeling is particularly clear. So, when Feifei sent a voice and video to ask him to help wash the cat at home, he did not refuse. Even if Yu Feifei is the only person who can see, it is better than lying at home.
The door didn't open until the tenth knock, but it was not Yu Feifei who was standing by the door watching him.
"Who are you looking for?" The woman who walked out of Sister Lang's Fan'er without her six relatives asked him, tilting her head.

Zhou Mai, who followed people out of the elevator ahead of schedule, looked at the house number and blushed: "I'm sorry, I went up the wrong floor."
"It's okay." The woman closed the door. Zhou Mai stood in front of the door, feeling very embarrassed and his heartbeat was fast. This is the feeling of being alive, a heartbeat that he has never experienced during the time he lay flat at home.
So when he was washing the cat, he was absent-minded and was slapped three times by the cat. Yu Feifei asked him if he wanted to go to his roof to grill a fish to eat. He was also absent-minded and was given three chestnuts by Yu Feifei. Or love, he thought, with all your heart and soul, all, with all your might. No matter who she is, no matter what kind of bad temper or bad situation she has, no matter what difficulties she may encounter, no matter whether she loves herself or not.
So when he was walking, he paid extra attention to see if he could meet her. However, she didn't show up that day.
But when you want to be in love, you don't want to be at home. You want to go out, even if the sun is hot and you're a boy too embarrassed to hold an umbrella. Therefore, Zhou Mai walked in circles three times a day in the huge community, and he did not miss a walk in the evening. In less than three days, his skin color was already three degrees darker.
"This skin color..." Yu Feifei said when he came to his house to grab iced coffee, "I can't find it with the lantern."
"Do you know the one downstairs?" Zhou Mai asked.
Yu Feifei stared at him for a few seconds, then jumped up and put her arms around his neck: "Do you think she's beautiful, don't you? Okay, Damaitou, you're enlightened, the rabbit wants to eat the grass next to the nest! "
Zhou Mai broke free of her: "I want to know her!"
Although Yu Feifei is also at home every day, she is a freelancer and was arranged by her parents to take countless exams when she was a child. So now even though she is at home, she has a lot of work to do. We also do translations, draw CAD drawings, write online novels and advertisements, edit them, and even provide accounts to several companies. She had been in class for two years and was exploited to the point of depression by her boss. Don't look at her laughing and laughing now, with no distractions, but Zhou Mai has seen her in the most painful time, and she has also seen her in the most outrageous time. For Zhou Mai, she is like a sister who has already raised a family.
In the evening, Yu Feifei went for a walk with Zhou Mai.
"When I was walking, I said hello to her, so you know each other!" Yu Feifei was very excited.
They went downstairs early that day, facing the burning cloud, a flush of excitement appeared on Yu Feifei's face.
Of course, not all encounters in this world are called unexpected encounters, and some encounters are completely containment. Sure enough, I met the woman who was "Sister Lang", but she was very slow this day. When Yu Feifei greeted her, Zhou Mai saw the tiredness on her face, and the moment she lowered her head, she saw the black green on her ankle.

Xiaoya is 28 years old and suffers from congenital heart disease, which was discovered only two months ago. The doctor said that some people are born with it, but if their mood is stable, if they live regularly and exercise properly, they may never have symptoms, and they almost don’t need to worry about it. However, excessive physical expenditure, emotional ups and downs, overwork, excessive exercise, and poor rest will trigger symptoms. Xiaoya used to be a workaholic who killed the Quartet. Drinking can drink a lot of men. It was the night when she vomited after drinking and had to go outside to eat ice cream to calm herself down. She squatted on the curb and fell headfirst. When her colleague found her, she had been in a coma for nearly five minutes, and if it was five minutes later, her life might be at risk.
Resign, get treatment, and make an appointment for the surgery. Tomorrow is the day she will be admitted to the hospital for surgery. After 10,000 steps, on the top floor of Zhou Mai's house, she refused the cold beer that Yu Feifei handed over, and then said that she would not drink any alcohol in the future, and she would be fine.
"You have a chance to walk out only if you live," she paused, facing Zhou Mai, "the kind of attitude of 'Sister Lang' you said."
Xiaoya didn't know why she told them so much, maybe she hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time after she resigned. Her parents are abroad to take care of her younger brother's children, her colleagues are very busy, and her old classmates are all over the place. She always felt that she was strong and was not afraid of anything, but the moment she learned that she was sick, she felt helpless and fell into fear.
"If you don't dislike it," Zhou Mai scratched his head embarrassedly, then raised his head to meet her eyes, "I will take care of you while you are in the hospital."
"Well, I can go too." Yu Feifei responded quickly.
"If you're worried, I can show you my ID card and household registration book, and I don't have any intentions. I'm just, too boring." Zhou Mai continued to stare at Xiaoya, and then saw that there seemed to be a meteor in her eyes flashed.
The encounters in this world are the most radiant, but that's how they go from being unfamiliar to cherishing each other. It takes more than courage to be willing to entrust and be entrusted almost at the same time as knowing. It's not that you believe it until the end, it's that you always have sincerity towards life and people.
A month later, because of being in the hospital every day, Zhou Mai's skin color has returned to the texture that a little white face should have. There may be no need for a confession between adult men and women, the details have already explained everything. During this period, the two people got along little by little, and everyone felt that they were boyfriend and girlfriend. Being sick in bed is of course the most embarrassing and embarrassing time for a person, but if you have seen my worst moment and you still like me, what can I say? I thank you and wish to spend the rest of my life with you, not to you, we are all separate individuals, we live together. Go through with you what you get and take, build and destroy, love and hate, and never give up.
With Xiaoya's help, Zhou Mai quickly found a job. On the day Feifei sent Zhou Mai to work, she asked him a little jealously, "Will you ignore me after you're in love?"
"No." Zhou Mai said, "but don't make trouble. You are not my confidante."
"Humph! Don't worry, you're not my Lanyan either."
But they both know that even with a significant other, they are still the kind of cross-gender friends who can surrender their lives.
Later in the evening when the weather was fine, Zhou Mai and Xiaoya would go for a walk together. Slowly at first, after Xiaoya recovered, they walked out of "Sister Lang" together again. Occasionally, Feifei would be a light bulb, and she would jump around with her cat. That road is really good. In summer, you can see fire and clouds, in autumn, you walk on golden leaves. In spring, the roadside is full of flowers. In winter, when there is snow, you can walk on snow. A variety of birds stood.
