"Hee hee I''m teasing you. Don''t take it seriously... " Haizhu said, "brother, what do you think I''m doing?"


    "Where are you? Have you eaten yet? " I said.


    "I''m having a Korean barbecue with Haifeng and Yunduo." Haizhu said: "when I went back from work, I just met them to have dinner. I just caught them, so I decided to have a free ride, ha ha..."


    Haizhu is eating with Yunduo Haifeng.


    "Oh Eat, eat well, and go back early after eating! " I said.


    "Well Elder brother, you and sister Qiu should treat guests. I won''t tell you Goodbye Haizhu hung up.


    I put down the phone, Chong Jiangfeng and Liu Yue embarrassed smile: "sorry, my girlfriend called."


    "Oh..." Jiang Feng and Liu Yue looked at each other, and then Liu Yue looked at me with a smile: "you have a girlfriend, ha ha Why don''t we have dinner together tonight? We just met. "


    "Forget it." I said.


    "Oh..." Liu Yue said, "Yike, your girlfriend must be very beautiful, right?"


    "Well Ha ha... " I gave a dry smile.


    At this time, Qiu Tong took over the conversation: "I''m sorry to praise my girlfriend. I''ll tell you, yi Ke''s girlfriend is beautiful, gentle and lovely. She''s also a stewardess That''s good for Ike. "


    "Oh..." Liu Yue looks at Qiu Tong: "little sister, do you know Yi Ke''s girlfriend?"


    "Yes," Qiu Tong said, "his girlfriend''s name is Haizhu. She''s my very good sister We''re like sisters I like Haizhu very much. "


    "Oh..." Liu Yue nodded, looked at me again, and then stopped talking.


    "By the way, Qiutong, do you have a sweetheart?" Jiang Feng suddenly asked, and then looked at Qiutong, as if the remaining light in his eyes was looking at me again.


    I licked my lips and lowered my head to drink.


    Qiu Tong''s face was a little embarrassed and unnatural. He didn''t seem to know how to answer Jiang Feng''s question.


    Liu Yue then said to Jiang Feng with a smile, "ah Feng, don''t ask about girls, ha ha..."


    Liu Yue seems to want to break this awkward situation and help Qiu Tong out.


    At this time, Qiu Tong said: "yes!"


    "Oh..." Jiang Feng said with a smile: "ah, Qiutong, you and Yike should bring your friends here tonight. How lively it is to have dinner together..."


    It seems to me that Jiang Feng''s words are a formality.


    Qiu Tong''s face was red. He should have drunk too much and said: "he He''s not here. He can''t make it


    "Oh, where is he?" Jiang Feng asked.


    "He He''s in the air, invisible, untouchable, but I can feel it. " Qiu Tong said, her eyes confused again


    My heart is a little heavy and I keep swallowing my throat. I don''t know if Jiang Feng and Liu Yue have seen my action at the moment.


    "In the air." Jiang Feng''s voice was a little stunned. He took a look at Liu Yue. They didn''t speak.


    At this time, I picked up the kettle and poured Qiutong a glass of water: "drink some water."


    Qiutong took a cup of water and drank it silently, his eyelids drooping.


    At this time, Liu Yue said: "ah, let''s stop talking about this. Let''s continue to drink. We haven''t paid you back yet Ah Feng, come on, let''s hold up our glasses and pay back to my younger brother and younger sister. "


    "Well, come on, we''ll pay you back Two It seems that Jiang Feng almost said "couple" and changed his mouth temporarily.


    So we continued to drink and chat, and began to talk about newspaper business.


    A meal didn''t end until 11 o''clock. Jiang Feng and Liu Yue went back to their room to pack up. I called a taxi.


    After a while, Jiang Feng and Liu Yue came out with their luggage. We shook hands and said goodbye.


    Before getting on the bus, Jiang Feng took my hand and shook it hard: "brother, take good care, grasp, cherish, own, treat yourself well, treat others well, treat opportunities well, treat life well, treat destiny well."


    I shake hands with Jiang Feng, but I don''t know what his words really mean.


    Liu Yue and Qiutong whispered for a while. I couldn''t hear what they were saying. I just saw Qiutong nodding.


    After seeing off Jiang Feng and Liu Yue, Qiu Tong and I stood in the open space of the hotel, looking at the outline of the surrounding dark mountains, listening to the sound of the sea waves coming from the nearby seaside


    At the moment, it''s quiet.


    "Take a walk on the beach." Qiu Tong and I said the same thing.


    Finish saying, I laughed, autumn Tong also laughed.


    So we went down the hillside together, followed the path to a small beach. Although the beach is not big, the surrounding environment is very elegant. The mountains and rivers are connected, and there is a beach in the middle. At the moment, there are few guests on the beach, and most of them have gone back to their rooms to have a rest.


    Qiutong and I walked slowly on the soft beach. Looking ahead, we could see the boundless dark sea.After just a few steps, Qiutong and I suddenly stopped, because we saw a person in the light of the street lamp by the sea. Now she was wearing a white dress and standing silently facing the sea. The sea breeze blew over her short hair


    The man we saw was Xu Qing.


    Xu Qing came back from meeting with her friends. She didn''t have a rest. She also came to the beach and stood alone by the sea. She didn''t know what she was thinking here.


    Seeing Xu Qing, Qiu Tong and I stopped and looked at each other.


    the sea breeze was blowing gently, the waves were pounding against the coast, and the rocks in the distance were making a slight sound under the beating of the waves


    It seems very quiet around. Xu Qing is standing there like a sculpture. She seems to be meditating and thinking about something. She doesn''t seem to realize that Qiutong and I are not far away from her.


    I look deep in the sea, a bright moon is hanging on the sea level alone in the night sky, and standing on the beach motionless Xu Qing against each other, lonely moon, lonely Xu Qing


    I can''t help coughing a little, the voice startled Xu Qing, she slowly turned around, saw me and Qiutong.


    "It''s you." Xu Qing said softly and then gave us a smile. Under the moonlight, Xu Qing''s face was very white, even a little pale.


    Qiutong and I went over. Qiutong said, "Chairman Xu, I''ve come back to visit my friends."


    Xu Qing nodded: "well..."


    "Chairman Xu, I haven''t had a rest yet..." I have something to say.


    "Well..." Xu Qing looked at Qiutong and me and nodded: "it''s so late, you don''t have a rest..."


    For the convenience of work, Qiutong and I have arranged the rest room for the staff in the hotel. We didn''t go back these days.


    "Yes, shortly after dinner, I hosted two friends here. Those who came from other places to travel and relax just sent them away." I said.


    "Oh, ha ha..." Xu Qing said with a smile: "friends from other places who come to Xinghai to travel It''s nice to have friends... "


    I laughed: "does chairman Xu have no friends in Canada? You must have a lot of friends, too. "


    "Ha ha..." With a smile, Xu Qing looked up at the starry night sky and said to herself, "a person can have many friends, but a true friend, a friend who Confucians each other, is extremely rare I have had many friends in foreign countries for so many years, but none of them can really get to know and make friends with each other. They don''t have them now, and maybe they won''t have them in the future. "


    Qiu Tong said, "Oh How long has Chairman Xu been abroad? Are you not a Chinese born in Canada? "


    Xu Qing looked at Qiu Tong and me and nodded: "although I am Canadian now, in my heart, in my experience, I am a Chinese to the letter. I am a native Chinese. My most beautiful years and my most beautiful youth are spent in China. Of course, I also have my most precious and unforgettable emotions."


    We chatted and walked along the beach.


    At this time, I said, "Chairman Xu, where is your hometown? I hear you speak in standard Mandarin with a northern accent. If I guess correctly, you should be from the north, right


    Xu Qing looked at me and laughed: "you two, after these days of exchanges and exchanges, I think you two are very good friends. If you also recognize my friend, don''t call me my position. You are younger than me. You can call me Xu Qing or sister Xu, OK? I''ll call you younger brother and younger sister. "


    Qiutong and I both laughed and nodded, "OK, I''ll call you sister Xu."


    "Well Thank you, brother and sister Xu Qing nodded, laughed and said, "I haven''t answered my younger brother''s question just now. Yes, I''m from the north, from Jianghai city. I was born in Jianghai, grew up in Jianghai, and worked in Jianghai


    "Jianghai, the hometown where I was born and raised, has left unforgettable footprints and traces in my life I went abroad at the end of last century. I have been going abroad for so many years. This is my first time back home. "


    From Xu Qing''s speech, I can hear Xu Qing''s attachment and deep love for her homeland, and her complex for the river and the sea. I can''t help but feel a bit sorry to think that she came back for the first time after so many years.


    Qiu Tong said: "sister Xu, why did you come back after so many years Don''t you want your hometown? Don''t you want your family and friends in your hometown? "


    Hearing Qiu Tong''s words, Xu Qing gazed at the dark sea in the distance and was silent for a moment: "my parents have received Canada. They are my relatives My friend Jianghai has my best and closest friend, maybe one of my closest relatives, my relatives But they They may not be in Jianghai any more I don''t know where they''ve gone, and I don''t know if they''re all right now. "


    Xu Qing''s voice trembled. I don''t know who she said they meant, and I don''t understand why she said she had a closest friend and family member, but she said they did.At this time, Qiutong suddenly seemed to think of something and said, "Oh, by the way, sister Xu, a couple of friends we are entertaining tonight, whose hometown is Jianghai."
