After the instructions were finished, the receiver fell into a long silence. The time seemed to be as long as a century. Finally, accompanied by the sound of rain and electricity, Tang Miao's voice came.

After the two responded to each other, the story seemed to have come to an end, leaving endless blank space. After the blank space, the two said goodbye to each other and hung up the phone.

Tang Miao sat on the sofa, his hand holding the phone slipped away as the call ended. His hand holding the phone slipped away, his legs draped over his side, Tang Miao sat there quietly, staring at the smooth floor of the unit hall for a while.

After sitting for a while, Tang Miao looked up. Outside the glass window, the sound of rain had suddenly started, and then slowly stopped.

I watched the raindrops gradually disappearing against the window, my eyes trembling with the falling raindrops. I just watched the rain outside until the rain stopped and the water marks on the uneven window glass no longer showed any signs of flowing.

Tang Miao looked at the frozen water marks and stood up from the sofa.

After standing up, Tang Miao drank the water in the cup and threw away the disposable cup. After finishing, Tang Miao said goodbye to the security guard and left the unit building hall.

After He Xiao hung up the phone, he remained silent for a long time.

He looked at the rain hitting the glass window at the end of the corridor, and his pale pupils showed no emotion. Looking at the rain outside the window, the rain outside the window was getting heavier, and the sound of Jibang's drums could be heard in the rehearsal room. He Xiao listened to the noisy music, put his phone in his pocket, and turned back to the rehearsal room.

In the rehearsal room, Qi Yuan and Lin Ye were tuning their strings, while Ji Bang was improvising with his drumsticks. During the break, He Xiao answered the phone. He was halfway through the call before he replied.

As soon as He Xiao entered the room, Qi Yuan, holding Ji, looked over. Looking at He Xiao, with some inquiry in his eyes, he asked, "Have you finished the call?"

After Qi Yuan finished speaking, He Xiao returned to the keyboard and looked up.

After He Xiao said this, Qi Yuan looked at He Xiao, a little smile in his eyes, and continued to ask: "Who did you call? How long did it take?"

"Ah." After He Xiao finished speaking, Qi Yuan responded with a sound, as if he no longer had any doubts. He lowered his head to tune the piano and asked, "What are you looking for, Tang Miao? Why are you talking for so long?"

After He Xiao finished speaking, Guang Qiyuan, Lin Ye and Ji Bang also looked up.

"What?" The Jibang drum was already beating, and he looked up at He Xiao anxiously, "Why are you teaching in the mountainous areas? Which mountainous area? Where are you teaching? How long will you teach? When will you leave?"

After asking, He Xiao gave a unified answer.

"Know."

Jibon: “…”

"How did you know? Did you make a phone call?" Qi Yuan also joined the conversation and said to He Xiao, "It's really sudden. I've never heard of it before. And what about volunteer teaching? Is it safe? Volunteering in mountainous areas is a good thing, but if there is only one woman, it is really worrying. And we don't know where the place is. If something happens, how can we find her?"

Following Ji Bang, Qi Yuan expressed his concerns again.

After Qi Yuan finished speaking, He Xiao still gave the same answer.

"Know."

". Have you been on the phone for half an hour? What did you say? You didn't say anything, just called and chatted for nothing?" Jibang.

Ji Bang was indeed a little anxious, and even stood up from his seat and asked He Xiao. Although Tang Miao was He Xiao's neighbor, the relationship between the three was also very good. As a friend, he had legitimate concerns about Tang Miao's decision.

Even though they are friends, Sanli Tang Miao's best relationship is with He Xiao, so some information has to be known through He Xiao.

But now, even He Xiao knows this information.

He Xiaoguang knew that from the looks of it, he didn't seem to be in a hurry about this matter. He sat by the window, and the table by the window was against the wall, with a keyboard on the table. Since he sat down, he didn't put his hands on the keyboard, just sat there, as if he was just chatting.

After Ji Bangyang asked, He Xiao did not answer. He just lowered his eyes and looked at the black and white keys of the keyboard in front of him.

"Ah Xiao..." Ji Bang called out anxiously.

After shouting, Lin Ye gave Ji Bang a look, and Ji Bang noticed it and immediately shut up.

In the rehearsal room, the atmosphere seemed to suddenly become low and depressing because of the topic.

The rain outside was getting heavier, and the quiet room seemed even clearer. The raindrops hit the glass with a crackling sound. Qi Yuan stood there, looking at Ji Bang Lin Ye, and then at He Xiao.

"Call Tang Miao and ask?" Qi Yuan said.

After Qi Yuan finished speaking, Ji Bang and Lin Ye all looked over. When they looked at Qi Yuan, He Xiao still did not move, sitting there, facing Qi Yuan.

"Use it." He Xiao said.

"Tell me everything, ask whatever you want."

"If you ask, just wait for the reply."

-

Tang Miao moved to Huaicheng in June and disappeared in October.

But the disappearance did not take anything away, it just disappeared. The door of the next door was always closed, and the smell in the house slowly dissipated. Tang Miao was like a piece of incense in the room, and finally disappeared completely except for some smell.

Not long after Tang Miao disappeared, when He Xiao returned home, he ran into Yu Yaya who was looking for Tang Miao. Tang Miao suddenly resigned and left in October. The whole piano store knew what happened. Qian Cheng asked why, but he didn't say anything. He just said that he resigned and was deeply sorry for the series of problems he brought to the piano store.

Qian Cheng contacted Yu Yaya, who also called Tang Miao. Tang Miao did not answer. After that, Yu Yaya began to send WeChat messages to Tang Miao frequently.

She sent all the WeChat messages and never deleted them. But all the WeChat messages fell on deaf ears and Yu Yaya didn't get any reply.

Tang Miao's home, workplace, and even the entire Huai City disappeared.

After returning to Tang Miao's house, He Xiao closed the door and stood at the entrance. He lowered his head to look at the file bag in his hand, and without going any further inside, he directly opened the seal of the file bag.

Tang Miao never replied.

Despite this, He Xiao still took the cup of milk tea and drank it bit by bit while looking out the window.

"I heard it would snow. How easy."

He Xiao opened the door, and Yu Yaya entered Tang Miao's house for the first time.

The freezing days are approaching.

"I know it will be possible during Christmas."

After saying this, He Xiao, who was sitting there, took a look. Yu Yaya was looked at by him and said with some certainty: "Drink? Drink, you can drink it too. You can order it. If Miaomiao drinks it, it's all good."

After Yu Yaya finished speaking, He Xiao responded.

After receiving the milk tea, Yu Yaya returned to Tang Miao's house and handed a cup to He Xiao.

Everything belongs to the owner only.

While the courier was saying this, he had already taken out a document package from the letter bag. The document was packed in a hard-shell document courier bag. After the courier gave it to him, he took a pen and asked him to sign for it.

Because of song copyright issues, He Xiao would often receive some cooperation contracts. After taking a pen and signing his name, the courier handed him the document and left.

Yu Yaya said this and mentioned Tang Miao. When she mentioned Tang Miao, Yu Yaya's eyes first lit up, then dimmed. She withdrew her gaze from He Xiao and smiled.

After finishing her lesson at the piano shop, Yu Yaya rode her electric bike to Tang Miao's house before going home. He Xiao happened to be there too, so the two of them went to Tang Miao's house together.

"Home."

"If Miaomiao comes back, remember to let me know."

When Yu Yaya stayed in Tang Miao's house, He Xiao would, too. Even there, the two would talk a lot, at most Yu Yaya would ask if Tang Miao had replied.

Yu Yaya thought something had happened to Tang Miao, and she never gave up looking for him, even going to his house. There was only one door in the house, and even if He Xiao entered the house, there was only an empty house.

In December, Huaicheng ended its short autumn and prepared to enter winter.

"Drink." He Xiao said this as Yu Yaya lowered her head. After that, he said to Yu Yaya, "Thank you."

After saying this, the two of them started chatting as if they had just started a conversation. They had already talked about everything about Tang Miao in the few times they had met. When they met again, the topic of conversation became dry anger.

It was also during the break, and my parents were waiting for me to go home for dinner. After drinking half a cup of milk tea and almost warming up, I stood up and said goodbye to He Xiao.

He Xiao said thank you, Yu Yaya raised her head and smiled at him: "You're welcome."

Yu Yaya stood at Tang Miao's house, looking at the house, as if a corner of her soul had been taken away.

Taking advantage of the open door, He Xiao took the documents and milk tea and returned to Tang Miao's house.

Yu Yaya didn't stay long.

After saying this, the courier brother quickly smiled and said, "Mr. He, this is your courier."

In fact, if you just visit Tang Miao's house and think that Tang Miao has left, the house still looks like it is liveable. Although Tang Miao left, he only took his ID card with him. The kitchen items, pajamas, and even his toothbrush and skin care products were all put in place in an orderly manner.

"It's a Christmas show, right? On the way home? Back to the place?"

He Xiao said goodbye, and Yu Yaya left Tang Miao's house. When she stood at the door with her scarf wrapped around her, she did not forget to say something to He Xiao.

When winter comes, Huaicheng will enter the most annoying season of the whole year. The climate is damp and cold, and the wind blows, bringing the cold and icy air into the bones.

He Xiao responded, took some scalding hot milk tea, and inserted the straw into it.

The standard of most milk tea shops is based on the standard of sugar water. He Xiao can tolerate sweetness, but after taking a sip, he was overwhelmed by the sweetness.

The temperature outside has reached around 5 degrees Celsius. Days below 0 degrees Celsius are more unbearable than days with freezing temperatures.

"He knows how to eat sweet things and he orders according to the standards." said Yu Yaya.

The first time Yu Yaya went to see Tang Miao was the day Tang Miao resigned. She didn't see He Xiao, so she just stayed at the door for a while and then left. After that, she only met He Xiao once every few days, and it was more than a month before she met He Xiao.

This situation lasted from the beginning of October to December.

After the first time, Yu Yaya asked He Xiao a lot of questions, but He Xiao didn't know the answers.

Yu Yaya left, the courier left, and He Xiao was the only one left in the building. He Xiao stood at the door of Tang Miao's house, having just sent Yu Yaya off, but the door of Tang Miao's house was still open.

After the courier asked, He Xiao said something while holding the unfinished milk tea in one hand.

After removing the seal of the document bag, the same A4 paper was found inside. He Xiao put down the milk tea and took out the contract.

After getting He Xiao's response, Yu Yaya smiled again, and then turned and left. After leaving, the elevator was almost there, and along with the elevator, the courier left.

Later, Yu Yaya formed a habit and would go there every week. Sometimes she would run into He Xiao, and sometimes she would run into him. If she ran into him, Yu Yaya would stay at Tang Miao's house for a while and then leave. If she ran into him, He Xiao would open the door and let her stay at Tang Miao's house for a while.

He stood at the cupboard at the entrance and took the contract from the file bag. After taking the contract in his hand, He Xiao could see the heading of the document clearly.

The enclosed space of the house was warmer than outside, but not much warmer. Yu Yaya rode an electric bike, and her down jacket was blown through, and her nose was frozen.

Yu Yaya casually asked He Xiao some questions, and He Xiao answered them politely. Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and Yu Yaya jumped up to open the door and took the milk tea.

The courier and Yu Yaya walked into the elevator. When the elevator door closed, the courier walked up to He Xiao and asked, "Which one is 1607?"

"It will cool down soon."

"Order me one too. It's cold, drink something hot to warm you up." Yu Yaya took out her phone and quickly ordered two cups of Mixue Bingcheng. Because Mixue Bingcheng was just outside the area, it would probably be delivered in a few minutes.

And the Lord, those things seemed to have really become things, just placed there, even the stones on the roadside were much worse.

The divorce agreement sent by Tang Miao.

When they arrived at Tang Miao's house, there was no hot water, so Yu Yaya ordered two cups of hot milk tea.

"Um."
