Chapter Ninety-Eight: Long Time No See
Regarding the news of the arrest of the fugitive at Yu Sheng'an's concert, the official made a report early the next morning:
"On the evening of October 8, a fugitive was arrested at Yu Sheng'an's concert, and it is reported that the fugitive had beaten a KTV attendant for no reason with others on September 26, and after the incident, he fled the scene and disappeared. ”
According to the Han police officer who participated in the arrest, the successful arrest benefited from the use of the portrait recognition system, which has been widely used in many industries and application scenarios such as the government, public security, enterprises and institutions, and families. ”
……
Li Qinglong walked out of the high-speed rail station while looking at his mobile phone, and swiped the news of the arrest of the fugitive, and couldn't help but praise in his heart: "The current AI technology is too advanced, and a person's past can be located through big data and face recognition.
Just as Li Qinglong was diverging his thoughts, a familiar and mixed aroma of food came to his nose.
He looked up left and right, pinpointing the direction of the subway.
It's been three years.
This high-speed rail station is still the same as it was back then, not much has changed, but it is no longer what it was back then.
Three years ago, when countless young people poured into the East China Sea one after another, determined to conquer this international metropolis and trample the perennial TV tower under their feet, he, as the first group of young people to "escape from the East China Sea", donated almost all his clothes, threw away almost all his luggage, carried a schoolbag, dragged a suitcase, and took a train ticket all the way north, to Jinling, an important city in the east and the only megacity in East China.
He left the East China Sea not because he couldn't get along or couldn't adapt to the fast-paced life in the metropolis, an important reason was that he broke up with his first girlfriend.
White heart leaf.
The girl who has been in love with herself for 5 years and has reached the stage of talking about marriage resolutely decided to break up half a month after agreeing to her marriage proposal.
"I can work with you, save money to buy a house together, create the future together, but I don't want to waste that many more years, I don't want to wait until I'm thirty or forty years old to have all that, I want to live like that now, you know?"
When she mustered up the courage to say those words, Li Qinglong knew that this time, they were completely over.
And what pained him the most was that he couldn't refute her words at all.
She is young and beautiful, she is at the age of flowers, and she has tried to struggle with him for three or four years, but she has really had enough of such days, trying her best every day, but she will never see the future.
What really hit her with a fatal blow was that she had a colleague who was ordinary-looking, and her figure and appearance were far inferior to her, but she had already bought two suites in Donghai, just because she married someone who could do business.
So, she decided to change, let go of the burden of feelings, and run towards a new life.
She found the life she wanted, but Li Qinglong couldn't give that kind of life.
Now that I think back to that relationship, I can already be relieved, and when I mention that name again, I no longer feel a faint pain in my heart, but I will have some regrets, regret that I didn't work hard enough at the beginning, and I couldn't give her enough security and hope.
After walking to the subway station, I chose the subway I wanted to take and rushed to the hotel.
He came to the East China Sea this time, not on a business trip, not to visit friends, not to meet her, but to listen to Yu Sheng'an's concert.
In fact, less than half a year after she broke up with herself, she met a man six years older than herself through a blind date, and soon got married to him in a flash, and then bought a house, got pregnant, and gave birth to a daughter.
Today, her daughter is two years old.
Although he deleted all her contact information, he has actually been silently following her life through Douyin, watching her post videos of herself singing, funny, and later posting videos of her daughter, but strangely, she has never posted videos or photos of her husband.
He had associations about this, but it was just some kind of self-comfort, and then he saw her WeChat signature by chance, and he was even more embarrassed for a long time:
"Every choice has to pay a corresponding price, and there is no regret when you fall. ”
He has reason to believe that the other meaning of this sentence is that she chose a comfortable and ideal life and paid the price of love.
I wonder if I'll run into her this time?
It's just that after many years, when they meet again, how will he greet her, with silence, with tears?
He laughed at himself and said in his heart: "How could it be so coincidental? Although some people say that the world is very small, how can tens of millions of people in the East China Sea come and go, how can it be so easy to meet?"
He imagined the scene of meeting again, the two took the escalator in a shopping mall, one up and one down, she was holding her daughter, and her husband was standing next to her.
I took the subway for 40 minutes, then transferred, sat for another half an hour, arrived at the destination site, got out of the subway station, and walked to the hotel for about 15 minutes.
The hotel he booked was less than a 10-minute drive from Yu Sheng'an's concert.
After checking in, go back to the room to rest for a while, and then go out for a walk.
He wanted to visit the places they had visited together, to reminisce about the past.
Pedestrian Street, the Bund, Wutong Road......
Originally, I wanted to take a few photos and post them on Moments, but I thought that I would be ridiculed and hypocritical by my brothers and friends, so I gave up this plan.
Yu Sheng'an's singing voice ringing in the headphones, like the background music in the movie, made him more thoughtful, and every time he went to a place, he would inexplicably wonder, would he suddenly bump into him?
A friend said it well, everyone who has a story will fall in love with the song of Ann for the rest of their lives.
When I came to the scene today, I hope to get a different experience.
Judging from the audience feedback from the first three shows, it can be said that each one is more explosive than the other, and after watching the recorded video of the scene, the effect is indeed shocking, and the sense of expectation is getting stronger and stronger.
By the time he had finished reviewing a few places, it was already noon, and there were no dramatic encounters, no fantasies about countless reunions after a long absence, so he decided to find a nearby place to eat.
Super Brand Mall.
The square closest to him, the first time they went to see the Oriental Pearl together, they had a meal in that square.
Entering the gate, just about to find the elevator to go upstairs, two fashionably dressed and fancy women came up, the two women walked towards the door arm in arm, suddenly one of the women looked at him, stunned for a moment, and shouted: "Li Qinglong!"
When Li Qinglong heard this, he was completely stunned, and then looked at that face seriously, and finally recognized it, who was not Bai Xinye?
Three years have passed, and she is wearing more makeup than she did three years ago...... It's timely.
It turns out that this is the life she wants?
Bai Xinye walked over, the two looked at each other, and suddenly laughed together: "Long time no see." ”
Laughing again, Bai Xinye asked, "You came to the East China Sea...... Traveling?"
Li Qinglong shook his head and said, "No, come and listen to Yu Sheng'an's concert." ”
Bai Xinye asked, "Tonight's session?"
"Hmm. Li Qinglong nodded.
"Coincidentally, my friend and I are going to listen to tonight's event. ”
"So coincidentally?"
"yes. ”
"And your daughter?"
"Her grandmother brought it. ”
"Hmm. Then you go shopping, I'll go to dinner. ”
"Okay, bye-bye, see you in the evening. ”
"See you in the evening. ”
Two people, one walking inwards and the other outwards.
When he arrived at the door, Bai Xinye glanced back.
Li Qinglong just walked to the elevator entrance.
