Chapter 1: Snow in Shenzhen
In the winter of 2017, the first few days of Shenzhen were as warm as usual, and the warmth made the cities in the mainland envious, jealous and hateful.
In recent years, housing prices have risen well, industry has developed rapidly, houses and factories have been covered with stitches, and the subway has also connected the main prosperous places of the city, and there is no major infrastructure, and the sky is blue.
The golden sunlight warmly caresses each building.
On that day, Wang Shiyi drove home after visiting customers, and on the way, a weather news was broadcast on the radio of the car: "Listeners and friends in front of the radio, good evening! Insert a weather message, the cold air will continue to move south tonight, and it is expected to affect our city in the early morning of tomorrow, and the temperature in Shenzhen will drop sharply tomorrow, and there may be rain and snow, and the temperature will be as low as minus five degrees, please pay attention to cold protection and keep warm!"
Oh my God!
When I went out this morning, the sun was still shining!
Besides, it is impossible for snow to fall in Shenzhen, which is located in the tropics, the world is so big, and I have never heard of tropical snow.
It must be that the radio announcer is drunk and talking about alcohol!
It's snowing in Shenzhen, who would believe it? Wang Shiyi shook his head.
Poof, he couldn't help but laugh again, what a ridiculous news, today won't be April Fool's Day!
Maybe I heard it wrong!
I was busy all morning, tired, and hallucinated.
"You've been gone for so many years, and you're still by my side. When Wang Shiyi was pondering, his mobile phone, trembling in his trouser pocket, suddenly sang a sad old song, he liked Tan Weiwei, liked the song "Night in Ulaanbaatar" she sang, so he did not hesitate to set it as a mobile phone ringtone.
"Hey, Boss Wang, it will snow in Shenzhen tomorrow, have you heard of it?" Wang Shiyi took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, and gently clicked on the answer button, and the hoarse voice of Mr. Zhao, the headhunter of Neos International, immediately came from the Bluetooth headset.
"I've heard it, I just heard it on the radio, and I thought I heard it wrong!" It seems to be true, it's going to snow in Shenzhen! Wang Shiyi has a hunch that this will be the first snowfall in Shenzhen's history.
"People in our office are talking about this, it's incredible!" Mr. Zhao sighed.
"It's not a joke!" Wang Shiyi looked at the sky outside the car window, the sun was soft, the same as yesterday.
"I'm also skeptical! It's winter, it's time to take a serious snow!" Mr. Zhao said with a smile.
"It's good to snow, how can there be a reason not to snow in winter?" Wang Shiyi was a little excited, in his hometown of Chungcheng, it often snowed, in his memory, winter is equal to snow, the truth is as simple as 1+1=2, winter without snow, is it still called winter?
Hanging up the phone, Wang Shiyi remembered what Mr. Zhao had just said, and felt ridiculous. He thought that Zhao always wanted to talk to him about the R&D director candidate, but he didn't expect him to talk to him about some gossip news.
People in their forties are also drunk when they pay attention to these news for no reason.
By the time he drove back to his villa, it was already dark. There was a cold wind blowing in the sky, as if someone was crying in a corner!
Cold rainy night!
The drizzle was blowing in the night sky, like silver needles, piercing the butt of the concrete floor.
The weather has changed so much!
"Wang Shiyi, why did you only come back now in such a cold weather?" Seeing Wang Shiyi walk into the house, his wife He Suoyi looked a little impatient.
"Signed a big order today!" Wang Shiyi lay down on the sofa in the living room, his head drooping, and his voice looked weak.
I set off early in the morning, and I didn't get home until dark, and I tossed all day, tired, even if it was such a big good news as signing a bill, I couldn't see a smile on his face.
"Are you running out of battery?" He Suoyi didn't care about the order, the weather had changed, she had just made a lot of calls to him, all of them were turned off, she was very angry, and wanted to smash the mobile phone in her hand several times.
"I'm off!" Wang Shiyi replied lightly.
"You killed people in a hurry, I thought you were missing!" He Suoyi glanced at him fiercely, sighed, stood up, and poured him a cup of warm tea: "Master Wang, drink a cup of hot tea!"
Wang Shiyi took the tea, took a sip gently, and was a little moved in his heart, so he hugged her.
"What a kiss, Wang Shiyi, your beard is not clean, it is like a knife, it hurts my face!" He Suoyi struggled in the man's suffocating arms.
Early the next morning, Wang Shiyi was woken up by the alarm clock, he lay on the bed, turned on his mobile phone, and looked at WeChat casually, and it was snowing heavily in the circle of friends.
The first snow in the history of Shenzhen!
I can't believe it's true.
He jumped out of bed in his pajamas, walked bare-footed, walked to the window, opened the curtains, oh my God!
He rubbed his eyes again, it was really snowing.
"Wang Shiyi, it's snowing in Shenzhen!" He Suoyi, who was sleeping naked, also saw the snow outside the window, and sat up in surprise, the whole person looked snow-white, like a snowman.
Surprised, she scribbled on her clothes.
The woman got dressed, opened the door, ran out into the courtyard, and excitedly used her hands to catch the crystal snowflakes that fell from the sky.
After all, the ground temperature is high, and those crystal clear snowflakes fall on the ground and shatter.
Wet wetlands, shattered to the ground!
"He Xueyi! It's snowing in Shenzhen! You should come back, come back and have a look!" Wang Shiyi, who was standing silently by the window, muttered to himself.
"You won't come back, and you won't see snow in Shenzhen!" Wang Shiyi's tears flowed.
Because, now there is no news about her in this world.
At the class reunion, he didn't get the slightest news of He Xueyi, and Wang Shiyi thought that there would be no more news of her in his life.
There are only two ways for him to get news of her, one is through his classmates, they have all studied under the same roof in class 115, this one has proven unfeasible, and in such a big event as the class reunion, he has not shown his figure, and there is no news of the slightest star, this road is no longer passable.
The second is to find her hometown, she is from Chungcheng, how big can Chungcheng be, find her parents and siblings, and there is news of her, but she is an orphan, and when she goes abroad, she is also unconcerned.
"It's impossible to see each other again! There's no more news of her!" Whenever Wang Shiyi thought of this, a clear voice would bubble out of his heart like a spring.
But what Wang Shiyi never dreamed of was that thirteen years later, he would get her news by such chance.
The woman named He Xueyi, the woman who once said to him very affectionately, "The water is coming, I am waiting for you in the water, the fire is coming, I am waiting for you in the ashes", but finally died on the other side of the ocean and was buried alone in a cemetery, which was completely unexpected by him.
