Looking at the time, it's already 4: 25. 1 hour ago, she was still on the plane. In another 10 minute, he will arrive. Every day at 4: 30, he will definitely leave his desk and have a cup of black coffee in the cafe downstairs-he has told her more than once.
This is the cafe that he has painted countless times on QQ. Through the glass, you can see the Huangpu River on the beach. Inside the house, there are not many guests, amiable middle-aged waiters, dark velvet curtains and blues background music.
She met him in a forum. When his name first appeared on her QQ, she knew that there was such a cafe in those old bank buildings on the Bund in Shanghai.
"Yesterday, I had a dream that I walked into a cafe and sat in a familiar position. On the left side of my sight, there was a girl wearing a white cotton dress with long clean hair who was slowly drinking cappuccino." One day after they met for a year, he told her so on the midnight phone.
"So, what did you do to her in the dream? What can you do if this person really shows up? " She thought he was retarded, and such a big man began to have such a dream.
"If this girl really shows up, I will tell her that I like her and hold her hand to buy a big bouquet of roses and propose to her!" He seems to have fallen into his dream.
"Boss, buy calla lilies. I like calla lilies." She said this casually.
"Ok, just listen to the girl and buy calla lilies. Hahahaha ..."
Listening to his unbridled smile, she suddenly felt a little lonely-as if no boy had sent her calla lilies yet.
She is 24 years old and has a simple job in a company in a northern city. He is 27 years old and works as a programmer in a computer company in Shanghai-if he didn't lie to her.
This year, she began to implement the annual leave system, and she got seven days paid leave at once. Where to go? When surfing the Internet at night, I looked at his gray head on QQ and suddenly thought of the dream he told her, the girl wearing a white cotton dress with suspenders. So she suddenly decided to go to Shanghai. Why not play a joke on him? It should be fun to scare him. She spent two days in her own city looking for the white cotton dress with suspenders that he described-the north of October is not the season to wear suspenders. After finding the dress, she immediately booked a flight to Shanghai.
The old clock on the wall slowly pointed the time to 4: 35. She looked down at the magazine provided by the cafe and actually paid more attention to the entrance door.
He came in! Everything is just as he said, and his face is the same as the photo he sent her! She is very lucky, because the photo she sent to him is that she is wearing a cowboy. He has never felt like a lady, and today's skirt is only a temporary prop.
He sat in a fixed position, and the waiter brought him his fixed black coffee. When he drank coffee, she knew that he had noticed her, and she felt his eyes a little startled and a little excited. He lowered his head, took a sip of coffee, and then, as if naturally, raised his head, as if he only knew that there was a boy watching her across the street, and she smiled at him with a natural expression-everything was as expected. He saw her treat him.
She lowered her head again and began to read magazines. However, her heart kept beating violently-what should I do if that fool really came to woo? Should I tell him who I am? What if he gets angry? For a while, she felt that time passed slowly, and for a while, she felt that time passed too fast.
God! He stood up! He came to me! ! Her face became hot in an instant. However, he walked past her without stopping, and walked to the door, even without looking back at her at the moment when he walked out. How did this happen? No courtship, not even a greeting, he has left.
Stunned, she picked up the cappuccino on the table and took a sip. The coffee has begun to get cold, and the sweetness of milk foam has been replaced by bitterness. She smiled at herself, which was just a joke. Since it is a joke, why take it seriously?
Leaving the cafe and walking on the Bund, the evening breeze blew through the cotton skirt with suspenders, letting her know the cold in Shanghai in October, trying to calm herself down, but feeling at a loss. The bustling Shanghai made her feel particularly lonely. She found a hotel at random and booked a plane ticket to go home the next day.
At 9: 00 p.m., it was her fixed online time, but his online time was always irregular, sometimes all day, sometimes it was a long time.
The mobile phone rang, and it was mobile QQ. "Girl, why aren't you online tonight?" He sent it to her. She looked at the phone for a long time and didn't know how to answer.
"I'm outside, and I don't surf the Internet today." She thought for a long time and gave him one.
"Girl, you must come up now. Just find a place and you must come up! The boss ordered you to come up! " Through the mobile phone, it seems that you can feel that he is different from before.
"All right, you wait."
When I walked out of the hotel, I saw that I was still wearing that dress with suspenders. I hesitated, but I didn't go back to my room to change it. Although it was cold, I found an Internet cafe on the corner.
Open QQ. Seeing his head, she chose stealth. "What can I do for you?" She clicked his head and sent a message.
"Why stealth? Go online! " He gave her an immediate reply.
"Invisibility is different. Can you talk? What can I do for you? I'm listening. "She feels weak and her typing hands are shaking. Autumn in Shanghai is really colder than expected.
"You go online first, I want to look at your head and talk! I feel like I'm talking to the air when you're not online! " He is still insolent. She clicked QQ and went online.
"Girl, where the hell are you?" He asked, "I'm shopping with my friends. Where can I be? Come on, I'm going back to bed. "She doesn't want to lie, but don't lie, okay? Can you say that you came all the way to Shanghai like a fool just to play a joke on him? Besides, this joke is not funny at all.
The other end of QQ was silent for a long time, and she didn't know what he was thinking.
"Didn't you say you had something to tell me? Why don't you talk? "
"I have something to do. Just wait for me."
She suddenly became angry, and knocked a lot of words in the past: "What do you think I am? Who are you to me? You and I should come, okay? You told me to wait for me. Should I wait? "
"Girl, angry? I have something to do now. Will you wait for me a little longer? " He still typed these words back to her slowly, as if he hadn't been so anxious to find her just now.
She stopped talking to him. I clicked on the forum that Kaiping often went to, but I couldn't read a single post. In my head, he smiled a little surprised and hurried when he faced her. Why did I come all the way to make such a boring joke?
"Girl, I have something to do. Don't move. Wait for me online for half an hour, okay?" His QQ threw this sentence over for no reason. "Please, don't move! I will definitely come back to you in less than half an hour! I got off, don't move, wait for me! " Without waiting for her answer, his QQ has been offline.
She used the mouse to slide over his frog head on QQ again and again. It seems that there are 10,000 reasons why she must go, but can she do it without waiting for him? Qian Shan has come all the way. Why is it so difficult to wait for half an hour?
She stopped looking at the web page, just stared at his gray head, and time passed by. Forget it, just wait for him for half an hour. After half an hour, she will leave his sight forever. Everything was a joke, and now the joke is over. Even if she wears a white cotton dress with suspenders in real life, she will not be the one in his mind. Less than half an hour later, his head lit up.
"Girl, thank you for waiting for me until now."
"If you have something to say, just say it." She tried to calm herself down and could only hide her inner complexity by words without any emotional color.
"Girl, do you remember the dream I told you? The girl in the coffee shop with a white cotton suspender? " This sentence, like a sharp thorn, hurt her heart deeply.
"Yes."
"I really saw her in the cafe this afternoon. Everything seemed like a dream."
"Congratulations"
"However, I didn't show my affection for that girl. Now I know I was wrong. I want to hold that girl's hand. I wonder if she will forgive me?"
If at first she felt stupid, now she hates him in her heart! Why do you want to sting her inner weakness again and again? Even, in her heart, she began to envy the girl in her dream. Why didn't he say such things to her in a cowboy? Is it true that she is not as worthy of his liking as the person she plays?
"Girl, she will forgive me, won't she?"
"Girl, won't she really forgive me?"
Looking at the words he kept sending on QQ, she stopped talking. For a long time, he silently said "goodbye" to him and resolutely closed QQ.
QQ is closed, and it's all over. No one says forgive, or there is nothing to forgive.
After sitting for a while, she stood up and prepared to check out.
However, when she looked back, she suddenly saw that he was standing in front of her stupidly! Moreover, he was silly to hold a bunch of calla lilies!
"Girl, I'm sorry. Forgive me, okay?" He looked at her and said it word by word.
What the hell is going on here? Why is everything always unexpected?
"Girl, I saw you in the cafe this afternoon. I didn't know it was you. I said I liked the girl in my dream, but it was just a dream. When I went back to the office and looked at your photo, I found that the person I really liked in my heart was you."
"But, maybe because we are too familiar with each other, I don't know when I began to like you. I don't know myself. I am used to saying goodbye to you every time after work, but today, I suddenly found that the girl who smiled at me actually had the same smile as the photo you gave me. I began to wonder. I really hope that girl is you in my heart, but I know, This is impossible. I suddenly began to miss you. I called your home and said that you were out, so I waited for you to go online at night. By nine o'clock, you hadn't come. I never wanted you to appear so urgently, because I am a computer worker. As long as you appear on the Internet, you can know where you are through your IP address. Finally, you came up, and your address shows that you are in Shanghai. I thought I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid of scaring you. I was afraid that you would run away, so I had no place to look for you. My friends and I analyzed your exact location together. I hope I can stand in front of you and tell you that I like you no matter whether you are that girl or not. Girl, forgive me, ok? "
His voice had never been so affectionate that she felt speechless. She told him over and over again in her heart that I forgive him, just spitting it out of her mouth. Why is it so difficult?
Finally, she couldn't help crying, fell into his arms and hit him on the shoulder with her fist.
All the loneliness and loss have gone with the wind. The night sky in Shanghai in October turned out to be so beautiful. By the Huangpu River, calla lilies are smelling fragrant in a snicker ...
