I've spent my last night in the strange and familiar city of "D", and today, it's time for me to leave for the next stop, the place we agreed to go.

When I was separated from Xu Mengjun at school last night, what she said to me was that if it were the past, I might have insomnia, but unexpectedly I slept peacefully last night. The next morning, I received a long message from her late at night, which seemed to be the words of an old friend who hadn't seen each other for a long time, but we had only met last night. She said:

"Cheng Ting, I know that you will be leaving D City early tomorrow morning, I originally wanted to see you off, but I chose to say goodbye to you in this way (you are not allowed to laugh at me!, I don't know what is wrong with me, I would not have said such sensational words before) I hope that the next time we meet again, we can see the best side of each other in each other's eyes. Maybe you're right, go let go, let go, forget the past, and start over. I know it's hard because it's far too much, much harder for a person to forget one person than to start a new relationship with another. However, as a woman who is also a woman, my intuition tells me that in the future, you and your Director Han, as well as Xiaoya (Wen Shuya), are destined to have something to do with relationships. I hope you don't just care about your career like before, whether it's love or career, it's just a part of life, not the whole thing, you have to know how to weigh it. ”

I lit a cigarette, but never took my eyes off the phone screen, and after taking a puff, I swiped down the screen to see the following paragraph.

"That's right, one last thing to tell you, I was with Qi Min last week. In fact, it is not as complicated as we imagined, at that time I was still thinking about who we should go to each other's city life in the future, but then after we got together, everything became simpler, we just need to take the right time to go to each other's city to accompany it, because even lovers need space, and they also have their own lives to pursue...... Okay, no more verbose, cherish!"

I flicked off the long cigarette butt between my fingers, smiled with relief, pondered for a while, and typed back: "Each of us is a parallel line, and when fate comes, it is destined that two lines will intersect to form a point, and you and Qi Min will intersect." As for the 'destined person' who will form a point with me in the future, whatever it is, living in the present is the most important thing. ”

In fact, I didn't feel very surprised about Xu Mengjun and Qi Min being together, because it was a matter of time, isn't it because the two of them can be together because they are happy?

After replying to Xu Mengjun's message, it was just time for me to leave for the station. I snuffed out my cigarette butt and threw it in the trash, looked into the distance, and walked forward with my backpack on my back. It seems that this time my steps are a little lighter.

......

Xiamen is a very suitable city for life, the pace of life is not fast or slow, there is no rush hour like Guangzhou, if you hit someone, no one will care, but it is not as leisurely as the third and fourth tier cities in your hometown, everything is just right.

After getting off the bus, I took a ride to Siming District according to the tourist route I had planned, and the destination was Gulangyu Island. I first got on the ferry, but I found that there seemed to be a lot of couples, was this to set off my single dog? I simply put on my headphones and changed the direction to look at the scenery on Gulangyu Island in front of me.

When I got to the island, I still walked with my headphones on, and from time to time I took pictures of the scenery that I thought was beautiful. As I walked, I slowly found that I seemed to be really relieved, but this had little to do with traveling, mainly because my mood was different. As long as you can figure things out, it's the same wherever you go, and where is the scenery?

In the evening, I stayed directly at a youth hostel in Gulangyu, and after dinner, I bought a few bottles of wine and had a drink. However, this time I didn't smoke Nanjing again, but bought a pack of longevity cigarettes according to the local customs.

The hostel has a small loft and a bar in the attic, which I valued. Because it was the same owner, I just brought the cans of beer I bought.

Although this is a tourist attraction, but because it is now the off-season, plus it is a working day, so there are not many people coming, and the owner and I are in the attic.

The owner was a bespectacled guy, probably in his thirties, and he was very welcoming, and he personally mixed me a glass of wine for free and told me not to drink beer.

"Come and try it, it's my own wine, and you can't drink it anywhere else. The boss smiled and pushed the mixed wine in front of me.

"Thank you. I took the glass and asked, "By the way, boss, I don't know what to call you yet?"

He pointed to his eyes and replied: "Because I have deep myopia and have worn glasses for many years, everyone called me Little Four Eyes at first, and then I opened a youth hostel, and when I got older, Little Four Eyes became 'Fourth Brother'." ”

I nodded knowingly and took a sip of the wine, which was bitter, but after a moment there was a sweet sensation in my mouth. I was fascinated by the unique taste of this glass of wine, so I asked curiously, "Fourth brother, you just said that you made this glass of wine yourself, so does it have a name?"

The fourth brother chuckled, squinted his eyes into the distance, and after a few seconds of silence, he replied with a vicissitudes of life: "The name of this glass of wine is: Gray Sunshine." ”

I silently recited the words "Gray Sunshine" in my heart, and combined with the taste and texture of the wine I had just drunk, this wine did match the name.

So, I took the initiative to explain this wine: "At the beginning of drinking, I felt very bitter, I guess I put a lot of bitter wine, which is the meaning of 'gray', but soon the taste changed from the original bitterness to sweetness, does this mean 'sunshine'?"

He laughed twice, pointed his finger at me, and said, "Boy, you seem to be a man with a story! ”

"Each other, each other. ”

"Look, there's another friend. The fourth brother looked in the direction behind me and said.

I followed his line of sight and looked, and sure enough, there was a woman in a punk outfit with two large earrings on either side of her ears. I couldn't see her face because she was on her side, but judging by her size, it wasn't much of my age.

"Girl, you're here, why don't you come to the bar for a drink?"

The girl smiled generously, and really walked over to us, this time I could see her face clearly, if it wasn't for her heavy makeup, it must be a very innocent girl. has a pure face, but uses heavy makeup as a mask, and there is a stubborn feeling between his eyebrows. She pulled out a chair and sat down next to me.

The fourth brother asked, "What does the girl want to drink?"

The punk girl glanced at my glass and replied, "I'll drink whatever he drinks." ”

The fourth brother gave her a thumbs up: "Have a vision! Okay, I'll give you a tune." ”

I just smiled indifferently at what the girl said, didn't speak, and then took a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it.

When the fourth brother was bartending for her, she suddenly asked me, "Are you alone?"

I obviously didn't expect her to ask such a question, so I was stunned for a while, took a puff of cigarette and replied: "Chinese culture is broad and profound, I don't know what you mean by this question?"

She smiled and explained: "You are such an interesting person, of course I asked you if you came to travel alone, but could it be that you also asked if you were a person? ”

"Then why do you think I'm traveling alone?"

She changed her sitting position, crossed her legs, took out a box of women's cigarettes from her pocket, lit one, looked at me playfully and said, "Intuition." ”

I smiled, and before I could figure out how to answer, the fourth brother picked up the conversation: "Your wine is here, but there is not much base wine in the bar, I have to go to the warehouse to get it, you can talk first, you can mix what you want to drink, but don't break my wine vessel!" After the fourth brother finished speaking, he gave me a hard look again, and the expression of squeezing eyebrows and his glasses looked a little funny.

After the fourth brother left, I completely forgot what the punk girl said. She looked at me with interest and asked, "Little brother, what's your name?"
