Chapter 9: The Four Seasons Song by the Riverside

Just when Peng Jiangming and Zhang Xiaoyue were immersed in the joy of reunion and couldn't help themselves, Zhang Xiaoyue's mobile phone rang, it was Sha Li

called: "Sister Xiaoyue, I'm at Restaurant A, where are you?"

Zhang Xiaoyue hurriedly stood up and found Sally standing at the entrance: "Sally, I'm here, come over and get a box lunch." ”

Sally hurriedly walked over to Zhang Xiaoyue, and when she saw Peng Jiangming sitting in front of Zhang Xiaoyue, she was instinctively stunned for a moment, but she didn't think deeply, she thought it was just an ordinary friend of the boss's business, she nodded at Peng Jiangming and smiled politely.

Zhang Xiaoyue introduced to Sally: "This is my high school classmate Mr. Peng, you can just call him Brother Peng." ”

"Hello! Brother Peng. Sally greeted Peng Jiangming warmly.

Zhang Xiaoyue introduced Sally to Peng Jiangming and said: "Her name is Sally, she is a foreign trade salesman of my company, a very good girl. ”

"Hello!" Peng Jiangming smiled politely.

Zhang Xiaoyue handed the lunch box to Sally and said, "You and Andy have dinner and rest for a while, I'll chat with Brother Peng, and I'll go back to the booth later." ”

"Okay, Sister Xiaoyue. Sally walked away with her lunch box.

After Sally left, Zhang Xiaoyue and Peng Jiangming looked at each other and smiled understandingly, the thoughts they had cherished in their hearts for many years were all in the moment when they looked at each other.

The fate of missing, the hand-holding of misses, the poems on the riverside are only written for you, the sad tears are only shed for you, and the regretful past has become the deepest pain in my heart.

The end of the world drifted without a trace, and the heart was full of lovesickness, and suddenly looked back, but the people who missed day and night quietly appeared, why is creation so confusing?

"Where have you been all these years?" asked Peng Jiangming with concern.

"I'm in Nanzhou City, what about you?" Zhang Xiaoyue replied softly.

"After graduating from university, I have been working and living in Ningzhou. ”

"Oh, these two cities are not far apart. Zhang Xiaoyue's face flashed with a trace of imperceptible loss, as if there was something in the words.

This subtle expression was keenly captured by Peng Jiangming, perhaps because the two had loved each other deeply, they both knew each other's personalities very well, and they also knew each other's position in their respective hearts.

He lowered his head in understanding, silently plucking the rice grains in the bowl, he didn't have the heart to eat at this time, he just wanted to talk to her about things that only the two of them could say.

In order not to affect the joyful atmosphere of the reunion, Peng Jiangming hurriedly changed the topic: "Have you been engaged in foreign trade all these years?"

"Yes, yes, I came to Nanzhou after graduating from university, I have been doing foreign trade work, and I set up my own company eight years ago to work alone. Zhang Xiaoyue said with a smile.

"Oh, Xiaoyue, you're the boss, that's good. Peng Jiangming said appreciatively.

"Well, it's not bad, I've been doing foreign trade for so many years, and I'm more familiar with this industry. Zhang Xiaoyue's tone of voice is confident and calm, and after years of workplace training, she has completely lost the inferiority complex and shyness of a girl.

"How many people are in your company?"

"I brought two subordinates over, what about you?" Talking about work, Zhang Xiaoyue's expression was obviously much more relaxed.

"I opened a foreign trade company in Ningzhou, and I brought a group to participate in the exhibition this time. Peng Jiangming replied.

"Oh, that's a coincidence, we're walking together. Zhang Xiaoyue's face couldn't suppress the expression of excitement.

"Yes, there are too many coincidences in this world. Peng Jiangming had something to say, and the past that had been silent for many years came to his heart together, and he didn't know where to start with a thousand words.

They chatted politely about work, and fell into silence again, knowing very well in their hearts that at this moment, the topic they wanted to talk about was definitely related to the banks of the Dongqiao River, the twin flowers on the riverside, and the concentric knot hanging in the birch forest.

I miss it deeply, and the grievances are difficult to dream, and I suddenly look back on the fifteen years, and the twin flowers are painful.

Peng Jiangming is so smart, he knows very well what the joy on Zhang Xiaoyue's face carries, the emotional tragedy many years ago, carrying their common memories, which include laughter, tears, and more unspeakable pain and irreparable regret.

In the past fifteen years of working in Ningzhou, he has never mentioned that dusty past to outsiders, and the harm he brought to Zhang Xiaoyue made him feel guilty, as long as he recalled it, his heart would be depressed.

From the heart, in the past fifteen years, he has never forgotten her, how many nights in the dead of night, when he temporarily put aside the fatigue of work and fell asleep, in a trance, there is always a tall and thin girl, handsome and pretty girl appeared in front of his eyes.

The girl seemed familiar, he wanted to talk to her, but she never spoke, and when he tried to step forward and take her hand, she turned and drifted away, leaving him with a lost back.

When he woke up from the dream, he had to face the reality, the girl named Zhang Xiaoyue in the dream had been hurt too deeply by him, and they might only be passers-by in this life.

Spring is coming, I miss you

Patches of green leaves on the banks of the East Bridge River

Flashing my lovesick teardrops

The babbling of the river

Carry my lovesickness to your city

A majestic birch forest

Waiting for your shadow

Secluded boulevard

When will you see your footprints

Summer is coming, I miss you

The riverside gardens are full of charm

Days without you

The flowers also frowned quietly

There is a light breeze in the birch forest

The lonely figure can only cry secretly

The clear and translucent water of the river is as sweet as honey

Days without you

It becomes tasteless

Autumn is coming, I miss you

The pomegranate on the banks of the East Bridge River is red

The twin flowers are blooming

The birch forests are draped in golden yellow

The slender willow branches hung low weakly

Stand on a tree-lined avenue covered with dead leaves

My mood is chaotic like catkins

Look at the gurgling water

Where to find my love

Winter is coming, I miss you

The banks of the East Bridge River are covered with snow

The river froze

It cooled my heart

But I can't silence my thoughts

The birch forest welcomes the cold and shows its heroic posture

Lamei Blossom smiled

In a trance-like dream

Where to listen to your laughter

The dreamlike East Bridge Riverside

Can I hold your hand?

In the past fifteen years, for Peng Jiangming, the three words "Zhang Xiaoyue" are unspeakable secrets, this secret is very bitter and tired in his heart, but he can't tell outsiders, the figure that has appeared countless times in his dreams is not only the love of his life, but also the pain of his life.

I thought that I could only spend the rest of my life silently reciting Zhang Xiaoyue's name in my heart, but who would have thought that when she was caught off guard, she actually walked out of his dream and sat in front of him with a smile.

Peng Jiangming and Zhang Xiaoyue reunited after a long absence, they had a lot of things in their hearts to say to each other, but in that noisy restaurant, it was obviously not an ideal place for conversation.

For a whole afternoon, Zhang Xiaoyue felt uneasy, and the bizarre reunion with Peng Jiangming in the restaurant at noon completely disturbed her thoughts, Peng Jiangming's face always shook in front of her eyes, in a trance, she seemed to have returned to the Dongqiao River, back to their youth, the high-spirited Peng Jiangming stood in the birch forest, and gave her poetry with affection.

Smiling faces in the riverside garden

Under the birch forest, I vomited my heart

Knit concentric knots with both hands

In this life, hand in hand will not change

Peng Jiangming's appearance when she was a student and the scene of the reunion just now are repeatedly intertwined in her mind.
