Chapter 8: You Don't Come I'm Not Old
Peng Jiangming lowered his head to eat, while looking at his mobile phone from time to time, and didn't notice Zhang Xiaoyue standing next to him at all.
At this time, his mood is the same as Zhang Xiaoyue, this is just an ordinary exhibition day, after eating, he will go back to the booth to continue to receive customers, continue to talk business, sign orders, he would never think that from that day on, what kind of changes will happen to his life again? What kind of variables will happen to his emotional world again?
After fifteen years of separation, there was no contact, and before the official acquaintance, Zhang Xiaoyue was inconvenient to take the liberty of bothering, she settled down and asked in Mandarin: "Sir, hello, can I sit down here?"
"You may be seated. Peng Jiangming raised his head and replied politely, looking down at his mobile phone by himself, not noticing what kind of "special identity" the woman in front of him had.
With excitement and uneasiness, Zhang Xiaoyue sat down opposite Peng Jiangming.
She carefully looked at the man in front of her who had made her love and hate, but who had missed her deeply for fifteen years, and her heart was like thousands of rabbits scratching and unable to calm down.
In a trance, when a person reaches middle age, Zhang Xiaoyue is not sure, in Peng Jiangming's memory, does she still remember the concentric knot hanging on the bank of the Dongqiao River? Does she still remember the oath made under the birch tree? Do you still remember the prophecy of the riverside twin flowers that they once discussed?
After a while, she tried to stabilize her emotions, plucked up the courage to open her mouth, and asked, "May I ask if you are Mr. Peng Jiangming from K County?"
Peng Jiangming was looking at the news on his mobile phone, and Zhang Xiaoyue's sudden greeting suddenly disturbed his peace of watching the news.
He raised his head and looked at Zhang Xiaoyue in a daze: "What?
At the moment when the four eyes met, he finally recognized Zhang Xiaoyue: "Ah, you, you are ......", maybe this reunion was too sudden, maybe it was because they missed each other too long, when he recognized Zhang Xiaoyue, he was immediately a little excited, and the expression on his face was also overjoyed.
"Hehe, yes, I'm Zhang Xiaoyue. Zhang Xiaoyue couldn't help but tears swirling: "Old classmate, I really didn't expect us to meet here." ”
"Xiaoyue, is it really you?" Peng Jiangming stood up and held Zhang Xiaoyue's hand tightly with both hands, his surprise overflowing.
The name "Zhang Xiaoyue" has disappeared in his life for more than ten years, how many long nights, he always silently misses this woman in his heart who wants to see but does not dare to see, and now after many years, when he calls out this name again, it is still so familiar and cordial.
At that moment, he felt as if time and space had stopped, and his thoughts returned to the banks of the Dongqiao River twenty years ago:
The young and beautiful Zhang Xiaoyue sat side by side with him in the birch forest and talked softly, leaving a string of innocent laughter on the rich and verdant boulevard, and their sunny and youthful faces were reflected in the rippling Dongqiao River......
The cold memories on the banks of the Dongqiao River are vague and clear, and I once wanted to try to hold your hand and walk out of the dream world together, however, the bitter reality swallowed the sweetness of youth, and only bitter teardrops were left in the memories of love.
Once upon a time, Zhang Xiaoyue's smile made him dream, her gestures made him burst out poetically, more than ten years of separation, they have entered middle age from teenagers, the years have sunk their memories, and their faces have changed, and she in front of him makes him feel familiar and so strange.
In Peng Jiangming's memory, Zhang Xiaoyue is tall and thin, pure and elegant, but in front of her, she is dressed as a standard working woman, she is wearing a well-fitting professional suit skirt, and her white face is covered with light makeup, she looks so delicate and bright, compared with her girlhood, she is just less childish, and has a little more charm and charm of a mature woman.
Her big black and clear eyes are still so clear and clear, like two black pearls shining, which makes people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
"Xiaoyue, I really didn't expect to meet you here? Are you here to exhibit?" The sudden meeting, Peng Jiangming's voice trembled a little with excitement, but there was more surprise in his heart.
"Yes, I'm here to exhibit. Zhang Xiaoyue smiled.
"It's a coincidence that I'm here to exhibit too. Peng Jiangming said in surprise: "Xiaoyue, you have changed so much, I almost didn't recognize you." ”
"Hehe, I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, the years are changing, and people are also changing. ”
After a few brief conversations, Zhang Xiaoyue's mood calmed down a little, in her eyes, Peng Jiangming has not changed much, compared with his youth, he is slightly fatter, his smile is still so gentle, and the eyes behind the glasses still look so smart and talented.
They sat opposite each other, looking at each other and smiling, this shocking reunion made them a little overwhelmed, they hadn't seen each other for fifteen years, they all had a lot of things to say to each other in their hearts, but they didn't know where to start at that moment.
"We haven't seen each other in fifteen years, have we?" said Peng Jiangming thoughtfully.
"Yes, Wuzhou Yifarewell, it's been fifteen years. Zhang Xiaoyue nodded knowingly.
After a while, he asked softly, "Xiaoyue, how are you doing all these years?"
His voice was a little trembling, but it was full of concern, and his eyes were full of pity when he looked at Zhang Xiaoyue, a feeling that perhaps only Zhang Xiaoyue could experience.
Zhang Xiaoyue can understand his feelings, Wuzhou's farewell is a watershed in their fate, and it is also their common heartache.
She paused for a moment and replied softly, "I'm okay, how about you?"
"I'm fine, too. Peng Jiangming's voice was a little hesitant, Zhang Xiaoyue could clearly feel it, and he was a little insincere when he said this.
In the vast sea of people, there is always someone who truly loves you, and at the right time and on the right occasion, he (she) will always be just right waiting for you.
If you don't come, I'm not old, I'm willing to hold your hand and grow old together.
