Do you believe in love at first sight?

In "Wife's Romantic Travel", Mai Chao said that he wanted to marry Zhang Jiani when he first saw her. How wonderful it is;

What you don't know is that first The first time I saw you in a bookstore, I started bumping into you.

I always like to go to the bookstore when the weather is nice, instead of taking public transportation.

The distance from the school to the bookstore is 2.5 kilometers;

It takes about 36 minutes to walk from the school to the bookstore and takes nearly 6,000 steps with both feet;

There are all kinds of shops, food, clothes, and shoes along the way;

Some of the people coming and going are leisurely, and some are in a hurry. Among all kinds of people, there is no one who can You make me tempted.

At 10:00 pm on Saturday, I logged into my mailbox and found an unread email...

I know who sent it.

I have known this pen pal online for almost a year. We only know each other’s gender and city, but nothing else. But this is also the purity of pen pals.

We meet to send an email every week to talk about our trivial matters this week or our past: happy, sad, angry...

To my pen pal Z:

I had a home-cooked meal this weekend. This is a rare opportunity in school. The four of us were strangers at first, but because we share the same idol, we have become very good friends. Do you think it is fate? We were cooking together at a friend's house. In fact, it was our first time cooking, and we all relied on searching for recipes online. Hey, it tastes pretty good. Four people and nine dishes were too much to eat, but they gave me a full sense of accomplishment.

I wonder if you can cook? You should be able to. I don’t know why I guessed this, but I feel really happy eating home-cooked food.

What fun things will happen next week? Are you expecting mine? I'm looking forward to yours!

To my pen pal L:

I bought a book of guitar tabs and take time to practice guitar with the tabs every day. , I practiced the song "Love Story" this week. This song is a bit difficult to play, so I have to practice more.

Yesterday I practiced to the point where I would make mistakes every time, and I almost gave up on this song. Don’t give up halfway. I recorded a short section for you to listen to. I look forward to your pen pal’s comments.

To my pen pal Z:

My city has been raining for nearly two months. Such weather Really not suitable for going out. I hate rain. When I was a kid, my shoes would get wet every time I went to school on rainy days. I didn’t like to wear rain boots, which made me very distressed.

When do you think it will clear up after the rain? When I take the bus on a rainy day, I get wet when I get on and off the bus. Every time I go out, the weather is still very good, but it rains whenever I don't bring an umbrella. Is God against me?

Rainy days are a bit good, and you can take beautiful hazy photos. Alas, it’s a pity that my photography skills are not very good yet. I need to practice more to take photos for future travels.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

To my pen pal L:

The biggest gain this week: the original English book of "Sherlock Holmes". The suspense and English are really brain-burning. I still enjoyed watching it.

My roommates are all fans of Sherlock Holmes. Unexpectedly, my casual mention started a conversation in our dormitory that lasted all night, and we even laughed and talked about working together as a team to solve crimes.

Come on, we can only order takeout for lunch together. The take-out tastes really inferior to the food at home. Maybe as you said, if conditions permit, you have to do it yourself.

Be well.

"The Wandering Earth" broke the box office, and the sun also wandered. After a while, I finally came back.

On a rare sunny day, it is impossible to stay in the dormitory. The sun is waving to me just after returning home. Close your eyes and feel the sunshine. The familiar smell is the smell of "sun-baked quilt" in the Bookstore Smell Museum.

At this time, there are still 36 minutes before I meet you...

Take out your mobile phone, plug in your headphones, turn on the music, play the music you often listen to, and hum the song lightly all the way As I walked, pedestrians occasionally cast curious glances.

Yes, when I am in a good mood, I jump around like a child.

Many clothing stores along the way are about to be sublet, and the clothes are all on sale. A piece of clothing suddenly jumped into my eyes. It is my favorite type. It is perfect for occasions such as date photos. I tried it on and it fit perfectly, but only the store clerk and myself appreciated it, as if someone was missing.

There are still 15 minutes left before I meet you.

The song has been looped for the fifth time.

A new bakery shop has opened on the roadside and is promoting it, offering free tastings. Sweet to the heart. I've been thinking about buying an oven and making cakes myself if I have the conditions, but I can't eat anything too sweet. I can cook it, he can eat it, and it’s pretty good.

You still have 8 minutes left.

After practicing the song twice more, the smell of the bookstore came to my face.

The usual tranquility coupled with the sound of rustling books, and the aroma of coffee also hit my nostrils.

I am used to looking around first, and there are almost no empty seats. The corner is filled with sunshine, and the people and books under the sun are full of magic.

At the same second, their eyes met as if they were sensing something.

Pick up a book that interests you, walk around in a circle pretending to be looking for a seat, and walk to the position you have already targeted.

"Hello, is there anyone here?"

"No, just sit here!" I still remember his smile. 22.9°C is the most comfortable place for people. temperature.

Today there is a special activity in the bookstore. Write down a secret of your own, anonymously, can be disclosed or kept confidential.

"My pen pal, you know, I have come to your favorite bookstore many times, hoping to meet you.

I know that we are in the same city, but I don’t have the courage Asked to meet.

It took me a month to learn and practice the song "Love Story" because I wanted to be your backup singer;

"Sherlock Holmes" is very beautiful. , you should be as smart as the protagonist;

You said you are working out, I searched a lot for fitness precautions and daily diet, hoping to find something useful to you;

I hope you know these,

But I want to bury them deep in my heart.

I will always imagine when I become better than I am now. What would it be like to meet you?

What would it be like...

“My secret is about a girl, very happy. Become a pen pal with whom you can talk about everything.

She should be a laughing, positive person

There are some things she may not know:

The song "Love Story" didn't even exist on the guitar sheet. I clearly remembered that it was a song she often played on repeat, so I specially found the sheet music that I sent her. God knows how many times I practiced it. , I recorded it so many times, just to make her happy.

I have known about the fitness tips she sent me before, but I still collected the suggestions she collected, as if I had saved them. A happiness.

She said that she likes positive people, so I arrange my time reasonably every day.

If I like someone, I am willing to make myself better.

Z”

No one has spoken yet, but they can’t help but smile when they look at their secrets.

The first 0.3 seconds after they looked up at each other, he spoke first.

"Can I have a look at your secret?"

"Yes! Can I be lucky enough to know your secret?" I said with a hint of nervousness and expectation.

"Of course!"

...

"Hello, I am your pen pal Z, nice to meet you!"

"Hello, I'm L!"

"Actually, I have something to say to you..."

"Me too!" with anticipation and nervousness.

In the guestbook of the bookstore, he wrote this:

I fell in love with a girl, and coincidentally, we were in the same city.

Whenever I have time, I go to her favorite bookstore, but I have gone there so many times and met so many people, but she is still nowhere to be seen.

Even though we have never met, I feel like I know what she looks like.

The rainy day is finally over.

I kept staring in the direction of the door. She was wearing a floral dress and white shoes. She walked into the bookstore and looked around first. When he looked towards me, I hurriedly looked away.

I looked up and peeked countless times, keeping every smile of hers in the sun in my heart...

Later on, we became together We have made better Mr. Z and Miss L:

There are new dishes that we studied together;

There are videos of playing and singing together;

There are videos of working out together. Khan;

There is a travel photo wall that belongs to us.

Our story is to be continued...
