Chapter 10 Scenery of the Bund

Time passed very quickly, one afternoon two people walked around, and soon it was late afternoon.

The sunset on the Huangpu River is very beautiful, Wang Pengzhi took Wang Ruoxin to stand by the railing to watch the sunset in the distance, and the place where the sun goes down may be the edge of the sea.

Wang Pengzhi suddenly wanted to take Wang Ruoxin to see the sea, but he was embarrassed to mention it. If Wang Ruoxin refused, he would feel very shameless, so he hesitated for a long time and didn't speak.

I don't know when it started, a little girl stood beside Wang Pengzhi, she grabbed the corner of Wang Pengzhi's clothes and looked at him with a pitiful face.

It seemed that the child was eight or nine years old at most, wearing tattered clothes and a dirty face.

The girl's dark little hand was raised to Wang Pengzhi's chest, looking so eager, so hard, and so eager. Her mouth kept making mmmmmmmmmmm

Wang Pengzhi was about to go to his pocket and take out a one-yuan coin for her, when he heard someone shouting something in their direction in the distance.

The begging child hurried away as if frightened.

Wang Pengzhi's hand holding the coin stopped in mid-air, and he saw a chengguan chasing after the child desperately, scolding while chasing: "Stop, don't run." ”

Wang Pengzhi watched the two of them run away, and was about to put the money in his hand back in his pocket. Suddenly, another child came, and he asked softly, "Okay, give me the money?"

The child was about six or seven years old, and he was as dirty as the child just now. It was a boy with short hair and a thin face with no flesh left.

Wang Pengzhi had no choice but to take out the money he had just prepared to put away, and the little boy skillfully took the money and wanted to run. Wang Pengzhi grabbed him, and the little boy was startled, and instinct drove him to run.

Wang Pengzhi asked him: "Don't run in a hurry, be careful of wrestling, the chengguan has already chased a little girl away just now." ”

After the little boy knew that Wang Pengzhi had no malicious intentions, he was relieved. He pushed Wang Pengzhi's hand away, and ran forward even more desperately, shouting as he ran: "Sister, sister......"

Wang Ruoxin looked at the boy's running away, and her heart sank suddenly. She was very sad when she thought of her sister and brother.

This pair of begging sisters and brothers still have such a good relationship and depend on each other for their lives. And the three sisters and brothers in their own family, because of their parents' preference for sons, have now fallen apart.

Wang Ruoxin was a little sad, and she still didn't understand why her younger brother regarded herself and her eldest sister as enemies.

Parents have always been bad to themselves and their eldest sister, especially not to see their eldest sister, which caused the street to run away from home for several years and has not come back until now.

Wang Ruoxin thought of this, so she thought about calling her eldest sister again at night, last time she said that she was in Beijing, and now I don't know how she is. If it weren't for the help of her eldest sister over the years, Wang Ruoxin estimated that she would not have been able to go down to college so smoothly.

Wang Pengzhi saw that Wang Ruoxin was a little unhappy, thinking that he was doing something wrong, so he hurriedly asked her: "Senior sister, are you hungry, let's go eat together." ”

Wang Ruoxin nodded and followed Wang Pengzhi.

They walked along Nanjing Road, the evening sun sprinkled down, shining on the faces of the two of them, warm and calm, Shanghai at the turn of spring and summer, making people comfortable and comfortable.

Wang Pengzhi said softly: "I used to watch a cartoon "Your Name" by Makoto Shinkai, which said that the evening is the 'magic time', the twilight is vast, the lights are on, the outline of the world begins to blur, and you may see inhuman things. ”

Wang Ruoxin suddenly became interested and continued to ask, "Does evening refer to the period from around sunset until the sky is completely dark?"

Wang Pengzhi turned his head and explained to Wang Ruoxin very seriously: "Well, in astronomy, this time that is neither day nor night has an exclusive name - morning and dusk shadow/twilight. ”

Wang Ruoxin continued to ask: "Then how long is this time?"

"Combined with the experience of daily life, the time span from sunset to the turn on of the city lights is about 20-30 minutes. Wang Pengzhi said as he pointed to the sun in the distance that was about to completely descend below the horizon.

Wang Ruoxin looked into the distance, she seemed to really see something, and stood in place for a while. There has always been a regret in her heart, she hopes that the rumors in the evening told by Wang Pengzhi are true, so that she can also see his dear grandmother again, and then her sister will not always resent her parents.

Wang Pengzhi also stood there, looking thoughtfully at the elementary school girl who was staring into the distance. At this moment, in his eyes, Wang Ruoxin was so weak and soft, as if she was about to disappear with that trace of sunshine.

Wang Pengzhi unconsciously grabbed Wang Ruoxin's hand, holding it so firmly, he was really afraid that she would disappear.

Wang Ruoxin suddenly came back from her contemplation and was startled, she smiled at Wang Pengzhi, but she didn't take the initiative to withdraw her hand for some reason. Wang Pengzhi's hands are very big and warm, which is very suitable for comforting her mood at the moment, just like when she was a child, her grandmother always held her little hand with her big hand, and she guarded her so hard everywhere.

I don't know why, Wang Ruoxin feels that today's Nanjing Road is different from before, and it seems to be more cheerful.

The two of them walked to the restaurant hand in hand, Wang Pengzhi bought a lot of delicious food for Wang Ruoxin, and she also ate all of them for face. I don't know why, Wang Ruoxin felt that this meal tasted like her grandmother's cooking.

After eating, the night of Shanghai came, and the neon lights on both sides of the strait reflected each other.

Wang Pengzhi took Wang Ruoxin on a cruise on the Huangpu River and swam on the Huangpu River.

On one side of the Huangpu River is the Bund that has witnessed the historical development, on the other side is Lujiazui, a landmark of Shanghai's modern construction, and the beautiful figure of the Waibaidu Bridge, so that the two of them are immersed in such beautiful scenery and forget the loss in the evening.

The river breeze is blowing, warm and refreshing, and today's Shanghai is especially gentle to everyone, making everyone forget the urgency of making money.

Wang Ruoxin didn't realize that it was because of the person who accompanied her that this place she had been to many times was different, Wang Pengzhi was playing with her from his own perspective and taking her to appreciate the beauty of this bustling city.

Spiritually, she belongs to him today, and he belongs to her today, but neither of them has ever thought about it.

They got off the boat, and the Bund was already bustling with people. The lights of the Bund are full of brilliance, and countless tourists attract all kinds of businessmen.

A few businessmen who took pictures launched round after round of attacks on tourists passing by. When Wang Pengzhi and Wang Ruoxin passed by, they were also sold.

Wang Pengzhi wanted to take a photo, but Wang Ruoxin couldn't stop it. Wang Pengzhi pulled her to take a picture together, and the businessman who took the photo even pulled them to take a picture together.

While letting them stand closer, he praised Wang Pengzhi for his good-looking girlfriend. Wang Pengzhi and Wang Ruoxin didn't want to explain anything more to this stranger, so they took a photo very cooperatively.

This photo is unsatisfactory, and Wang Pengzhi is stored in his wallet like a baby. At the same time, he gave one to Wang Ruoxin, and Wang Ruoxin politely put it in her bag.

The trip to Shanghai ended after getting the photos, and after Wang Pengzhi sent her to the dormitory, he drove back with his beloved photos. Today he was happy with his performance and he felt like he could go back and get a good night's sleep.

Wang Ruoxin is also very grateful to Wang Pengzhi, in addition to her respect for him, she also has a sense of intimacy. Until many years later, as long as he encountered difficulties, the first person who thought of asking for help was Wang Pengzhi.
