This is a story about young plum bamboo horses looking at each other

There's always someone you can't forget. Even after years, times have passed.

There is always a question that cannot be asked. That year, I didn't marry you, so why did you stumble?

The quicksand of time flickered, blinding the eyes of those who were dimmed.

The acacia between his fingers circled round and round, but the kite had already broken the line.

The persistent forget the attachment, the forgotten forget the forget.

We missed more than another summer.

The moment I walked out of the airport, the sun was a little harsh. I pushed the trolley to the exit, waving my hand, expecting to catch a taxi in the crowded traffic as soon as possible. Suddenly, I was a little helpless. Xu was sleeping too much on the plane and was blindfolded. I woke up and didn't know if I was a guest.

The driver was a very talkative local, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked me if I had come to Shanghai to work hard. I hesitated, and I didn't know how to say it. So when I acquiesced, he began to talk endlessly, now come to Shanghai to mix no more than before, more than ten years earlier than our generation is easier to mix, now to work in private enterprises for ten years can not mix with a local household, so young girls are not as good as marrying a better Shanghai man ...

My head was getting dizzy, but thankfully my phone rang just in time. Caller ID is a wonderful long string of numbers.

“Hello？” Maybe it was Linda or a little worried about me calling.

"Honey, you've arrived!" The sound of the light snow was extremely penetrating, and I immediately moved my phone away from my ears by a meter.

"Well, just arrived, now in a taxi, you know what's going on with that number?"

"Internet phone, I used Skype in the company to call, you don't know that your American mobile phone to China is also considered international long-distance."

Well, this guy is shrewd. "Rest assured, I will buy a domestic cottage mobile phone tomorrow to support domestic products."

"Don't, we're all looking forward to seeing the foreign goods you brought back across the ocean!"

"It's not all made in China, and it's disappointing you."

"Hahaha..." Xiao Xuele's affirmation was leaning forward and backward again, "Oh yes, saying that it is a serious matter, tonight I contacted a few old classmates to pick you up the wind, tell me about your address, and then I will let Luo Yingqi pick you up." ”

"Don't bother, tell me where the store is, I can go by myself when the time comes, Shanghai is not the first time to come, after a few years away, I can still not recognize the road?"

"I'm afraid you don't really know, five years!" Sister, the changes in Shanghai are changing rapidly, you left for five years or do you mean to say that you are a Shanghainese? ”

"At least my hukou book still says that my household registration place is Shanghai."

"Okay, but you can't say it." At 7:00 p.m., the Spicy Hui on the other side of People's Square, we have a surprise for you! ”

The last note of the light snow dragged on very long, and I couldn't help but be alert. From childhood to adulthood, every time this girl was ready to calculate me, she would unconsciously speak in this kind of unconcealed little proud tone. Isn't it time for me to make a fool of myself on the first day I return home?

Hanging up the phone, I inadvertently caught a glimpse of the strange-looking driver in the rearview mirror and did not speak. So the second half of the road was quiet, I involuntarily closed my eyes, and the time to open them again had arrived.

The meter showed 87 pieces of 2 mao, I handed the driver a long-lost Grandpa Mao, smiled and said no need to look for it. The driver was a little embarrassed, but he happily put the money in his pocket, and then diligently helped me carry two 158 boxes to the elevator.

"Thank you, Master Driver." I smiled and said goodbye to him.

The driver turned to leave, turned back, and stopped talking. After a long time, I finally couldn't help asking: "Girl, did you come back from abroad?" ”

Confused, I nodded.

"Are you from Shanghai?"

"Haha, not really. I just went to college in Shanghai and mixed up a Shanghai ID card. ”

"Oh." The driver suddenly realized, and then smiled back, did not say anything more, and left satisfied.

The security door looked a little old, and I turned the key, and there was a crisp sound, disturbing the floating dust in the house. So the first time I came to this new home, I saw small particles beating in a beam of light, jumping leisurely.

The mood is a bit complicated, but it is also quite calm. After all, this new home will no longer have the feeling of wandering alone in a foreign land as a stranger, and more of a sense of belonging to seeing the South Mountain leisurely under the eastern fence of the chrysanthemum. So, facing this strange house, my new home, I smiled and said to myself, "I'm back." ”

This came the spirit, and in a single stroke began to clean and tidy up, two large boxes were opened, and things were laid out on the ground. After years of wandering abroad, I have long been accustomed to frequent moves, so I am familiar with the road and orderly. I don't have much stuff. I laid out a plain sheet, and I tried to lie on this new bed, and my whole heart seemed to be flat, incomparably solid. At this time, the sunset outside the window is already sky. Facing a big full sunset, I became incomparable. I know that this sunset in front of me means that on the other side of the earth, a red sun is rising.

Todayisanotherday。 A new day begins. Glancing at my phone, at 6:10pm, I took a quick shower, changed my clothes, and it was time for me to go.

Didn't expect to be late, I live not too far from People's Square. However, I couldn't find that hotel!

At the beginning of the lantern, neon lights in all directions were full of light, and all kinds of billboards of all sizes shook my eyes. I stood in the crowd and felt like I was an obstacle that would gasp. The pedestrians who came and went were all in a hurry, only I was wide-eyed and desperately searching for the hotel sign in the sea of light boxes. I hate myself for not taking my phone out the door.

"Xia Dairan!" A voice crosses the sea of people.

I turned, fixed my eyes, and smiled excitedly. But this smile condensed into ice in the next second. Loynch, dressed in a straight suit, smiled and waved at me. Behind him was a figure that caught me off guard.

I stood where I was and watched as the two men squeezed through the crowd and walked toward me. The expression was as stiff as the heart.

It was such a reunion.

For many years, waking up and dreaming, I have fantasized about countless versions of the reunion scene. I thought I would turn a blind eye, just take him for air and turn around and go. I thought I was going to shed tears and smear my tears and snot on the collar of his clean clothes without being rude. I thought I would take a man's arm and smile at him with great emotion. I thought...

It was such a reunion.

Luo Yingqi approached and smiled heartily, "Just know that you will definitely not find it, I will know when Xiaoxue told me in the afternoon that you are going to come by yourself." ”

I smiled a little dryly and looked directly at Luo Yingqi, "I think I'm a little uncomfortable with such a bright city." ”

"You are too comfortable living in a foreign countryside to bear so many people at home, right?" Loynch was still smiling. Turning his head, he said to the people who had been silent around him: "You see, I will say, Xia Dairan has not changed at all." It's exactly the same as in high school, with a ponytail. ”

I saw a slight smile on his face, and his eyes were deep and bright. Not daring to look at each other, I quickly looked away. Then I heard the familiar muffled voice with nasal sounds: "Yeah, nothing has changed." Foreign water and soil nourish people. ”

That was the first thing he said to me five years later.

Thoughts suddenly drifted out, and the body was empty at once. I saw a winged little man in front of me show a pitiful sympathetic and a little mocking expression to me, and she laughed, "You see, how normal and relaxed people behave!" It's that you still make yourself so burdened, it's been so many years, who can't put it down is Baga. Isn't it a big deal? ”

So I laughed, and although my brain was already dead to the point where I didn't know if the smile was sweet or bitter, thankfully, I was smiling. "I don't understand this called a naturally beautiful baby face." What a look like someone, a look of uncle who has not changed for thousands of years. ”

So the first thing I said to him five years later was this casual sarcasm.

His politeness in exchange for my sarcasm, how to calculate is that I earned. Well, for this unexpected reunion, I was satisfied.

His expression also froze for two seconds, and then he changed into that habitual helpless smile.

"Are you talking about Zhao Xuanlang or me?" Loynch asked knowingly.

I looked at him, and then I looked at Loynch. All three of us laughed.

At that moment, the square was full of people, and the huge open-air stage was playing a stirring melody. A man with long hair played the guitar violently and sang: "I folded my youth in half, put it in the envelope of memories, threw it into the mailbox of the years, and stamped the postmark of your name..."

As soon as XiaoXue saw me, she showed a schadenfreude smile, presumably afraid that I would be mad and worried about the aftermath, so she rushed over to give me a loving hug before I had time to show my sadness.

"Honey, I want to kill you!" This sentence uses the volume of the sacrifice with everyone's eardrums, "What, this surprise is enough for Surprise, right?" This was a whisper close to my ear, but my eardrums became sacrifices.

My brain was completely scorched as if it had been struck by lightning. So I decided to settle accounts with this young lady with my weak consciousness. Now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, we can only change the subject.

After staring at her large curly burgundy hair for a long time, I finally said, "Honey, I haven't seen you look more and more postmodern in a few years." So I understood why her MSN name had been changed to "SnowThirsty Red Devil."

Do you know that this woman is not ashamed but proud, and pedaled the high heels of the thin heels around and posed a Pose and smiled: "When you are old, you can't continue to dress tenderly, right?" "Say goodbye and glance at me deliberately.

Well, I bowed my head and made a confession. Witches cannot be taught either.

"Oops, Dairan stands next to you like the little sister and little aunt of the high school student, hahaha!" A voice behind Xiaoxue, although standing behind her, was completely unobstructed, because the person who spoke was one head higher than Xiaoxue wearing high heels.

It's Su Li, my brother who has been playing together since junior high school. He was the only one of the men present who did not wear a suit, and he was very energetic in a fashionable sportswear with that slab hairstyle. I smiled at Su Li, and before he could accept it, he said, "Oops! With a scream, he was poisoned by the snow-loving Red Devil.

Everyone laughed, and I was in a lot of good mood. Lo Yingqi's look around him is still consistently indifferent, like a lively bystander, allowing his savage girlfriend to laugh and play with others. Obviously only a year older than us, it felt like a mature big brother who knew a lot more than us. Therefore, Xiaoxue is also the stupid monkey who can't turn over the palm of his hand. After looking at him carefully again, I felt from the bottom of my heart that the way he looked now, the collar of the white shirt was neat and tidy, and it was really suitable for him. The re-reader who wore the school uniform many years ago, who did not say a word, revealed the light of this mature and indifferent detachment in his eyes.

And Zhao Xuanlang, who was next to Luo Yingqi, was even more relaxed than Luo. The neckline of the shirt is casually open, but the delicate twist button at the cuff is enough to reveal the thoughts behind his calmness. It was something I was unfamiliar with, but with such a familiar sense of course. I have laughed at him since I was a child, but now I have to admit that his face, which has been old for twenty years, has finally reached the most appropriate age. Such Zhao Xuanlang, suit and leather shoes, Wu exudes a business elite temperament, and finally deserves it. There was still a slight sense of mystery, a pair of narrow eyes contained a deep pool, no one could guess what he saw in his eyes. I have to sigh that this guy has not seen cultivation for several years, and this posture is not far from being incarnated.

And he is always too shallow than I am.

After all the seats, I found that there was actually someone. I can't blame her for standing behind Su Li all the time and being covered by the tall figure. It is a beautiful woman, the corners of her crescent-like eyes are always smiling, her fair skin is like a shelled egg, a face is palm-sized, cherry mouth, and a pointed jaw.

"Cai Feiming?" I hesitated for a long time before I said this name, and then looked at Xiaoxue with some surprise, how could she appear?

Of course, Xiao Xue understood my surprise, but smiled and said, "I called our old classmates in Shanghai one by one, but either they went on a business trip or were transferred, and in the end, we were the only ones who could come." ”

So I understood, even Cai Feiming, who was not very familiar with high school, was pulled to make up the numbers, which was really hard for my dear tablemate Xiaoxue. The people at this table now have shrunk too much compared with the battle that everyone gave me when I graduated five years ago.

Cai Feiming smiled very sweetly: "Xia Dairan, when I was in high school, I wanted to be friends with you, but you are smarter than me to study science, I can't afford to climb the height of this liberal arts class, now everyone is rare in Shanghai, you can't escape!" ”

I smiled, and the girl was unexpectedly cheerful. How to say that I have known many years of old classmates, the other party is such a beautiful woman, I am still polite. So he hugged his fist and said, "In the future, everyone will go to the beach together, and I still have to ask you to take more care of it!" ”

"No problem!" She also smiled and gave a fist in return.

Sure enough, you weren't polite to me.

"That is, Cai Feiming, we both have to pick a Wu Mo to transform the Dairan classmate from the Countryside in the United States, you see her like this, she is absolutely stupid to read." Xiao Xue laughed.

"People who read stupidly can read a big doctor back, and the IQ is still used by you to transform?" Su Li was beaten again. So I worried that the wall of this box would not be broken by sound waves.

Loynch ignored the two men's cannons and turned to me and asked, "How are you all settled?" What do you need help with? ”

"Well, the room is almost packed, and tomorrow I'll go out and buy some simple kitchenware appliances." I replied.

"Is the house renovated?" Do you want to add furniture? Zhao Xuanlang, who had always been quiet on the side, suddenly interjected casually.

Before I could answer, the whole box was quiet. Feeling helpless at the meaningful and smiling eyes of Xiao Xue and Su Li, I replied lightly: "All of them, all of them." ”

"Then tomorrow Zhao Xuanlang and I will take you to buy it, and it will be easier for us to drive." The timing of Loinki's call was just right.

"Don't bother you, I'll just go to the nearby supermarket to buy it, and the rest will be bought online one by one."

The topic stopped abruptly, and I couldn't help but drink in embarrassment.

"Dairan, I heard you're already a professor?" I am very grateful to Cai Feiming for his thoughtfulness and timely change of topic.

"No, how can I be a professor when I just returned to China?" Now it's just a lecturer. ”

"Haha, we are peers, I am a physical education teacher at Zhao Pu High School!" Su Lile raised his cup.

I took the opportunity to toast him, "Do it for your peers!" "Although the words are very atmospheric, what I have in my cup is white water.

Su Li drank the beer in his cup very proudly, "Haha, I really can't imagine ah, my poor student actually became a peer with you one day!" ”

"Go and go, Dai ran is a university lecturer, you are a physical education teacher, a hundred and eighteen thousand miles away!" Xiao Xue waved his hand.

"Lin Xue, this is what is wrong with you." No matter what kind of teacher he is, he educates the flowers of the motherland, and all of them are teachers who understand it? ”

Be a teacher. I raised my glass slyly again: "Make a toast to our teacher!" ”

Su Li was just about to drink, but Zhao Xuanlang on the side laughed out loud, "For so many years, your own amount of alcohol is not long, and it is bad for people to persuade people to drink." ”

I glared at him fiercely, "After so many years, your own ability to say good things is not long, and the sinister words in your heart are even worse." ”

As soon as my voice dropped, XiaoXue Su Liqi clapped his hands. "Haha, after so many years, I finally saw the two of you fighting again!"

I don't know whether to cry or laugh, my eyes fell on Zhao Xuanlang's face, and I saw that he was smiling very calmly. So I laughed too. Although the heart is flooded with complex suffering.
