When the train finally pulled into Chengdu East Station, Yang Li's heart couldn't help hanging up.

I don't know what it's like. I obviously want to go back to this city, which is neither my hometown nor a foreign city, but I feel a palpitation when I see the four scarlet LED fonts of "Chengdu East Station". Maybe you're a little nervous? He thought humorously, just going home.

With the sharp meshing sound between wheels and rails getting smaller and smaller, this westbound train successfully completed its mission and stopped at the terminal.

Strangers full of cars rushed out of the narrow car door with big bags and small bags, as if they would miss the next series of buses and buses later. They talked loudly with their companions about buying new year's goods, swearing in a strong Sichuan dialect, complaining about the crowded people, and completely ignoring the iron plate under their feet or the children around them, which provoked the flight attendants to keep persuading them to pay attention to safety with loudspeakers. However, the sound as high as 81 decibels soon melted into the bustling crowd in JaeHee like bubbles in the sun.

naturally, Yang Li didn't come back empty-handed. He carried a bulging black travelling bag, which was filled with strange souvenirs and local products. He hung a computer bag on his chest in a funny way, carrying a tightly wrapped plastic bag in his left hand and pulling a silvery white suitcase full of clothes in his right hand, and dragged it up and creaked. This outfit, combined with the unkempt appearance caused by a day and a night's turmoil, doesn't look like a college student at all. Instead, he looks like a small trader who failed to invest and ran away, or the kind who dropped out of junior high school halfway.

But Yang Li doesn't think there is anything wrong with this. He is used to it casually. Even if passers-by really look at him with disdain, he won't care. At most, he will only hold his glasses with his middle finger when passing by to show his dissatisfaction. In front of the mirror at the end of the carriage, Yang Li adjusted her messy clothes, and easily straightened out the bangs on her forehead that were about to rise to the sky, finally making herself no longer look so greasy, trying to barely smile because she was so happy to be home soon, but her wandering eyes told herself that she couldn't do it at all. Is really ugly, thought of here, Yang Li corners of the mouth could not help but bend the bend, revealing a little shallow smile.

After leaving the car door, Yang Li took a deep breath of air, which was full of familiar smells. It was the kind of street flavor that was not found in other places. The acerbity contained essential simplicity, and in a hurry, there was a bit of leisure. Even if he didn't go to the city center, he could also experience the unique flavor of Chengdu in a slightly off-center place like the railway station, which made Yang Li, a wanderer who had been away from home for half a year, feel particularly cordial, although after a thorough study, Chengdu also felt particularly cordial.

As she dragged her luggage out of the station, Yang Li couldn't help thinking of the girl.

long time no see, Zhang Xinyue.

there was a sudden throb. In a flash, he seemed to be sixteen again.

Second

Zhang Xinyue received a message from Li Yang late at night.

"Are you there?"

Looking at the familiar avatar flashing, Zhang Xinyue naturally opened the dialog box, typed "in" and then clicked Send.

"I'm back in Chengdu. Is it convenient for me to meet you sometime?"

"Sure."

"Tomorrow, then. I'll see you tomorrow."

"ok."

"Then you should rest quickly. It's very late. If you don't sleep well, your skin will be bad, haha!"

Zhang Xinyue typed the last word "good", hesitated for a moment, and added "good night" to send it. To her slight surprise, Yang Li didn't reply to her message. Seeing that the word "good night" sent by herself was hanging at the bottom of the screen, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and suddenly felt a little funny, wondering that her mentality was no longer so elegant and calm compared with usual.

As usual, after playing with her mobile phone for a while, when she was ready to go to bed, Zhang Xinyue found that she couldn't sleep at all. The more she hinted that she was sleeping peacefully, the more confused she felt in her mind, which made her more awake. Then don't go to sleep, Zhang Xinyue thought with some bitterness, so quietly, she got out of bed, put on her shoes and crept out of the door.

The moonlight is beautiful tonight. Seriously, it's especially beautiful. Although it is winter, the fog is not heavy, and the clouds in the sky can be seen clearly, not to mention the stars. Unfortunately, the stars are not as bright as they were when they were young, but they still glow with warm light, soothing the melancholy of sleepless people on the earth. Zhang Xinyue is nothing sad, probably just occasional insomnia, her sleep was not very good, plus ... The news of Yang Li's return made her feel a little confused, even though she didn't want to admit it.

Walking on the quiet street step by step, the gentle moonlight also sprinkled on Zhang Xinyue's delicate body through the green forest. The wind began to get stronger, and she still walked firmly. The traffic is as endless as it is during the day, but the difference is that the sound of the roaring traffic seems to be a bit intoxicated, which makes Zhang Xinyue fall into deep memories.

that summer, Zhang Xinyue was seventeen.

It is a girl's flower-like age. She has long silky black hair, which reflects the burning luster under the touch of the sun. Only a simple ponytail is needed to show the youthful vitality of the girl to the fullest. She has a pair of talking eyes, so bright and dazzling that even the sun in the midsummer afternoon is eclipsed in front of them. Just bend a little yingying, and infinite tenderness will rush out from the thin corners of her eyes.

It was that summer that she met Yang Li for the first time.

In her first impression, Yang Li doesn't seem to have anything special. As soon as he entered the classroom, the skinny boy sat in the corner, with a faint loss and melancholy on his face. When the classmates around him were frolicking and having fun, he just sat on his desk without saying a word, even a little embarrassed. Yes, after all, when he was assigned to a new class, he had to start all over again, but he was a little too introverted.

Third

Yang Li, who returned to Chengdu, did not intend to take another bus in a hurry to go home immediately, but stayed at his uncle's house for the time being.

I haven't seen you for half a year. My uncle and I have a lot to talk about. However, before we could chat a few more words, my uncle received a phone call saying that he had to go out for something. In this way, Yang Li had to be bored at home alone to kill time.

the clock goes slowly. Neither watching TV nor listening to music can alleviate Yang Li's increasingly anxious mood. He doesn't know what's wrong with him, but Zhang Xinyue's appearance keeps beating in his mind, sometimes vague and sometimes clear, and he wants to know more and more what she has become after more than a year's absence.

Yang Li struggled to get up from the sofa, went to the window and pushed it open. Suddenly, a cold feeling came over, which made him tremble and his anxiety dissipated a lot. He tightened his collar, but did not intend to close the window, but turned his eyes to the world outside the window-this strange and familiar city.

It's already dark, and all the lights are almost dim, but unexpectedly, the moon is very bright tonight, really, especially bright. The buildings, communities, sidewalks, etc. that Ben Cain was not in the dark were all naked in front of his eyes under the temptation of moonlight, and even a stray cat curled up in a corner of the roof could be seen sleeping peacefully. There are few pedestrians, but the traffic on the driveway is endless. The red and yellow lights are unwilling to decorate this lonely city, but it makes Chengdu even more lonely. In this cold winter night, probably few people will be as preoccupied as themselves, Yang Li thought.

Looking at the bright moon, Yang Li inadvertently lost his mind, and his thoughts were hooked back to that summer three years ago.

It was the first day of placement in Grade Two of Senior High School. Because Yang Li's grade in Grade One of Senior High School has leapt, he was forced to be demoted from the excellent class to the regular class, so Yang Li's mood was very low on the day of placement. When he came to a new class group, he looked at the students who had made a mess in front of him and talked noisily. His heart was full of remorse, and he even wanted to go to the excellent class to beg his former class teacher to let him take him in. But the reality is often so cruel that Yang Li not only has to spend the remaining two years in ordinary classes, but even the assigned head teacher is one of the teachers he dislikes very much.

Yang Li doesn't want to compete with them for a so-called good position. He'd rather stay in the corner, and it's best that no one knows himself.

"Isn't this the one in the excellent class?"

inappropriate sarcasm suddenly came from behind. He looked back and saw the man clearly. He had some impressions, but he never knew his name.

"ah, yes."

"How did you get into our class?"

"I can't study."

After that, Yang Li smiled awkwardly and politely, and then turned away, not going to continue this topic.

Just then, he saw Zhang Xinyue.

that side face attracted him at once. Time seems to have stopped, and the hot summer sun shines on the girl's exquisite face through the glass window, drawing a glowing outline. She is reading a book, and her quiet face is in sharp contrast with the noisy crowd around her. It seems that the barren hillside is full of fragrant flowers in an instant, and all you can see at one time is colorful and bright; Another example is that a sparrow on a telephone pole was accidentally hit by high-voltage electricity. It fell from a very high place, and the wind just blew, but its body was numb and unconscious. In short, at this moment, the trajectory of Yang Li's life was deflected.

he suddenly remembered a sentence.

The world is full of emotion, but in midsummer, white porcelain plum soup, crushed ice hits the wall with a clang.

Fourth

Because Zhang Xinyue found a temporary worker for the winter vacation, the boss only gave him half a day off, so they had to make an appointment to meet after lunch. The location was set at the North Railway Station near her. To tell the truth, there was no suitable place to visit near the North Railway Station, but Yang Li insisted on not letting Zhang Xinyue run too far, so he had to take more than 41 bus stops silently. Of course, Zhang Xinyue didn't know these details.

Yang Li told his uncle in advance that he had something to do this day, so he didn't have lunch at home. Then he immediately ran to a barber shop downstairs and asked Mr. Tony to wash his hair. Then he went to the supermarket to buy some bread and got on the bus in a hurry.

how time flies on the bus!

Yang Li almost fidgeted as the roadside scenery receded, listening to the emotionless mechanical female voice on the bus announcing the bus stop, and counting the distance closer and closer to Zhang Xinyue, his heart beat faster and faster. At this moment, he was a little surprised that he still had a crush on her, but it also made his mood more anxious.

On the other hand, Zhang Xinyue has been waiting at the appointed place, but the battery of her mobile phone is less than 11%, so it is hard to say that she can wait for Yang Li smoothly.

Hey, Yang Li is actually a nice guy, really nice. Zhang Xinyue quite some regrets ground think, just don't like it. But the line between likes and dislikes is not so clear. Maybe I had a heart for him three years ago. At that time, Zhang Xinyue was a little confused about what kind of mentality he was.

she fell into the memory again. Unlike Yang Li, her fond memories of high school were given by another boy. The fragment about Yang Li was probably limited to the days when she sat at the same table with him: he had a melancholy temperament like a poet, and even when he laughed, he was weak; Let him tell himself about math problems, and he will even blush; When he was teased by the boy at the front desk with malicious intent, he would sharply refute the boy for himself, even risking his face ... In short, Yang Li is very different from other boys. He is like a child who didn't grow up, and he is like an over-mature adult. His body is full of mysteries, and his heart is like a sea of Wang Yang, which is unfathomable. It's a pity that Zhang Xinyue didn't know it. As long as she wanted to, Yang Li was even willing to cut open her heart. Even now, it is the same.

Five

After nearly two hours of turbulence, Yang Li finally reached his destination.

As soon as he got off the bus, he stared at the crowd at the bus stop sign, trying to find Zhang Xinyue, but after a long search, Yang Li had to accept the fact that Zhang Xinyue was not at the appointed place.

Yang Li had to send her a message: "Here I am, where are you?"

However, after waiting for more than ten minutes and not waiting for Zhang Xinyue's reply, Yang Li was helpless, but she could only beat around the bush near the bus stop sign, expecting her to suddenly appear.

At this moment, his phone rang. It was a strange number. Yang Li hesitated and answered it.

"Yang Li, I'll wait for you here in the East Square of the railway station."

"Ah, Zhang Xinyue, did you change your number?"

"No, my mobile phone is dead. I borrowed it from someone else. Please come quickly."

"Ok, I'll be right there."

At the moment of hanging up the phone, Yang Li's heart became hot again, and his pace slowed down involuntarily. He wanted to calm down his mood quickly. But the more depressed, the more intense the flame at the bottom of my heart, and even make Yang Li feel the willies all over. It's so hot in winter.

Finally, in the appointed East Square, Yang Li saw the once familiar figure.

She is sitting in a chair in front of the store, her beautiful outline is shining like the first summer in the warm sun in winter, and her side face is as serene and quiet as before, and she is lost in her mind.

"Hi, Zhang Xinyue. Long time no see. " Yang Li walked over to the figure and pretended to say easily.

Zhang Xinyue looked up with a bright smile on his face. "Hi, long time no see, Li Tongxue!"

"You've been waiting for me for a long time. I'm sorry."

"No, just for a while. Where are we going now? "

"Did you have lunch? Go for dry food? "

"haha, ok."

Then they got up and went to feed.

As a rule, sitting down is a small talk, mainly about the life in college for the past six months. Yang Li talks indiscriminately, sometimes making Zhang Xinyue hide his face and chuckle. "You have changed a lot."

"No, I think I'm still as handsome as before, hehe."

Zhang Xinyue curled his pie mouth and rolled his eyes, which made Yang Li feel a little embarrassed.

After dinner, Yang Li worried about where to play. He racked his brains for a long time, but he still couldn't decide on a good place. They had to wander aimlessly in the street.

One step, two steps ... The pictures of their peers have never been so harmonious.

Chengdu is such a vulgar city. It has a video game city, a cinema and a playground, but it often can't accommodate people who don't have enough material. In the face of money, everything can be clearly marked, but for individuals, the most precious thing in life cannot be priced. For example, for Yang Li, the few hours spent with Zhang Xinyue this day.

Chengdu has its tender side. It has endless alleys and people.
