He belongs to the kind of man who has a thief's heart and no thief's guts for women, and even today, when he encounters a beautiful woman, his easy-to-move heart will still beat wildly.
In his memory, a hazy dream kiss 15 years ago is still intact on the wall of his lonely heart.
He went to Hechi, Guangxi, to visit relatives, and the first time he went out, he had an inexplicable fear of this solo trip.
Getting off at 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, there were few people on the platform, and he walked out of the carriage in a panic, not even knowing how to get out of the station.
When I got out of the station, I didn't know how to transfer trains and sign tickets.
In the darkness, he couldn't see her face clearly, only her fluffy hair and small figure, and even the way she walked, very much like his sister.
He was determined to consult her, so he took the initiative to ask her as soon as he got close.
She looked at him and said, "Let's go, I'll go sign the ticket too." ”
He followed her as he began to talk to her.
She asked him where he was going, and he said it was a pool of rivers.
She said, "Then we're not all the way. ”
"So where do I go to sign the ticket?"
He asked a stupid question.
She looked at him for a moment in amazement and said, "The tickets are all together." ”
He had to admit that this was the first time he had been out.
She asked him how old he was and he said 19.
Perhaps to comfort him, she said, "I haven't been out of the house when I'm your age." ”

She had a crisp voice and spoke standard Mandarin, unlike his sister.
If you go out of the small alley, you can see the window for signing tickets.
After signing the ticket, she walked away without greeting him.
He hesitated and followed her again.
After walking for a while, she turned back and said, "You're going to go tomorrow at noon, why don't you follow me?" ”
He asked, "So where should I go?" ”
She said, "You should find a hotel for the night." ”
He asked again, "Why don't you look for a hotel?" ”
She said, "I'm leaving right away, so why am I looking for a hotel?" ”
He snorted, "Well, I... What to do? ”
His panicked and helpless look made her pity, and she hesitated and said, "Let's go, I'll help you find a hotel." ”
Finding the hotel, he snuck his stuff away and prepared to take her back to the station.
She said: "No hurry, there are still two hours." ”
They sat down and chatted word by word.
At this time, their words were obviously more, and they seemed to have some kindness to each other.
Somehow she surprised him by saying that her daughter was a year older than him.
He said, "I thought you were a few years older than me." ”
She suddenly giggled and said he would really please people.
In Hengyang in July, the heat is unbearable, there is no fan in the room, and there is no boiling water.
As they chatted, she suddenly got up and said, "Are you thirsty?" I went to buy something to drink. ”
He said he was going, and she blocked his way and wouldn't let him go.
In a hurry, he made a fool of himself, saying "I have money" and anxiously groping for his pockets.
She reached out and patted his forehead and said, "I know you have money." ”
Laughing and walking away.
It was past 12 o'clock and most of the shops were closed.
He waited a long time and she didn't come back.
Later, he somehow fell asleep on the bed.
Later, he opened his eyes dimly and saw her standing in front of his bed, looking at him in amazement.
He looked at her too.
Suddenly, she leaned down and said to him, "I'm leaving, boy, goodbye." ”
As she spoke, she reached over with her hands like a dream, held his face, kissed his ignorant lips hard, and said, "You're cute, lad." ”
Then he kissed him on the forehead again, and then, like the wind, blew away.
If he chased her out immediately, he would definitely be able to catch up with her.
But he didn't, just slumped on the bed in despair, as if frightened by everything that had happened suddenly, or stunned by two kisses that had never been seen before.
When he finally chased her out, she was completely missing.
He sadly returned to the room and saw pieces of watermelon on the bedside table.
He put them together, and it was easy to put together a complete melon.
He stroked the melon, and after a while he felt the wetness on his hand, but he didn't know whether it was the juice flowing from the melon or the tears that he was touched.
Fast forward 15 years, and he still doesn't know who she is, or who her last name is.
Over the past many years, so many people have kissed him, but it was this kiss that fascinated him the most and most memorable.
