Chapter 59: Chinese New Year's Eve
At 10 p.m. on December 31, 2010, the temperature was 2 degrees Celsius on the Bund in SHHP District.
Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, the Bund is particularly lively, the streets not only have a variety of snacks, flowers, dolls, strange clothes and cosmetics and a series of sex entertainment treasures and a series of gadgets, but also many eye-catching performances, including singing, magic, street football, and wrist wrestling. In short, there are crowds of people, toes are on their toes, and the audience is like a city.
In the crowd, Li Xiuping wore a long dark purple coat, black trousers and leather shoes, left a 28-point elite hairstyle, sprayed a small half bottle of toilet water imported from France, and wore a Jin @ Oriental outfit to force Fan. While carefully avoiding passers-by in front of him, so that they would not get his clothes crumpled and dirty, he longedly looked around, trying to find Jiang Lingling.
Before the crossing, Li Xiuping met Jiang Lingling in this New Year's Eve countdown, he remembered that Jiang Lingling was taking a selfie with her classmates with her mobile phone at that time, and a thief snatched her mobile phone, which happened to be seen by Li Xiuping next to him, Li Xiuping put down the thief and snatched the mobile phone, and he and Jiang Lingling met and fell in love with each other since then.
"Two hours in advance, I wonder if I can meet my baby in advance?"
"It should be here, across the river is the Oriental Pearl Tower, I was ...... Probably yes,, how can it?"
Li Xiuping looked around and suddenly found that he might really be misremembered. The Huangpu River under the Oriental Pearl Tower is surrounded by a "U" shape, and the Oriental Pearl Tower is at the bottom of the U-shape, that is to say, the Oriental Pearl Tower is surrounded by rivers on three sides, and the Bund Avenue opposite the tower can see the tower in three directions, and tourists in three directions will feel that they are facing the Oriental Pearl Tower.
"Am I on the left or right, or in the middle?" Li Xiuping patted his head heavily, "Remember......! At that time, I was in a bad mood, and I was not in a state, so I was just wandering aimlessly, and I can't remember which side it was. ”
Five minutes later, Li Xiuping was still unsure where he met Jiang Lingling.
"Vozhi, I'll go look elsewhere and see if I can remember. ”
Li Xiuping began to circle around the Oriental Pearl Tower, and he tried three times in all three directions, but unfortunately in the end he still did not recall the information that would help him determine his direction.
"I should calm down, it's half past ten, and there is still an hour and a half before the countdown, I might as well take a turn first and see if I can meet Lingling, and by the way, think about a way, how to determine the direction." ”
Li Xiuping wanted to calm down, wanted to calm his brain and find a way, but he found that he couldn't do it, and the longer he walked, the more impatient he became.
"I've been walking for almost twenty minutes, and I still haven't met her, hasn't she come here yet, or has come, but watching the excitement with my classmates in that corner, there are so many people, how can I find it?"
"I've walked back and forth a few times, and I should be able to meet it. ”
"Don't worry, she's my wife, it's fate, take your time and be steady. ”
"No, I must find her, tonight was the day we met before the crossing, and it must be now, I must find her. ”
Li Xiuping looked at the vast crowd, anxious, not caring if he would wrinkle his long coat, so he quickened his pace and squeezed into the crowd.
Twenty minutes later, "Ahem, ahem!" Li Xiuping couldn't stop coughing violently, he was short of breath, his face was pale, and the cold from the previous few days was not completely healed, "Fuck, if only I were two meters tall, I could see it all if I walked once." No, I can't find her at all, I have to find a way, I must find her tonight, there was fate before the crossing, and there must be now. ”
Li Xiuping had a bad premonition in his heart, he was afraid, he was afraid, he suddenly had such an idea, that is, if he couldn't find Jiang Lingling tonight, then he would probably miss Jiang Lingling, "Lingling took a selfie with her phone, the phone was robbed, if I wasn't next to her, if it was other men who helped her get the phone back, what would happen? Will she still fall in love with me? No, I must find her, she is my wife, I want to find her." ”
"But I can't remember where I met her, just keep a position, only a third chance, what should I do?"
Li Xiuping watched left and right, he heard the stereo of a mobile phone store on the street playing a song, and his heart was moved, and he quickly ran over.
"Store manager, is the store manager here?"
A young woman in a suit walked over and said, "Hello sir, what can I do for you?" ”
"My girlfriend is angry with me and I don't know where to run, I'm in a hurry to find her, I'll give you 10,000 yuan, can you arrange for an employee to help me find her?"
"This ...... I'm sorry sir, I'd love to help you, but there is a rule in the store that you can't leave without permission during business hours. ”
"I don't need your staff to leave, don't you have a stereo? just find an employee to help me call my girlfriend's name." ”
The female store manager looked at Li Xiuping in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, we can't take your money for no reason, besides, tonight is a cross-Chinese New Year's Eve, and there are so many customers......"
"I'm sorry, I didn't think about it, in this way, I buy the latest Apple model, buy twenty units, you can help me, can you?"
"Yes, sir, you love your girlfriend so much, she will be very happy. ”
"Okay, now swipe the card, the phone will be put here for you first, who will shout? I'll teach her how to shout." ”
The female store manager immediately led Li Xiuping to swipe the card to collect the invoice, and then arranged for a male employee to shout, Li Xiuping glanced at the stout male employee, shook his head and said: "The boy's voice is rough and not gentle enough, can you give it to a female employee?"
The female shopkeeper was embarrassed, she covered her mouth and smiled, "Okay, no problem." ”
A female employee who looked like a soft girl came, Li Xiuping listened to her voice first, and made sure that it was very sweet and not aggressive, so he nodded and said: "You just talk as usual, you just say, 'Jiang Lingling from SH University's class of 2007, congratulations on winning the store award, please come to receive the award immediately'." Remember? ”
After making sure that the female clerk remembered, Li Xiuping left his mobile phone number, and then quickly left, Li Xiuping then found a store with a stereo every thirty meters or so, and asked people to help him shout, of course, money opened the way, so all the way down, Li Xiuping bought 80 mobile phones, 70 pairs of pants, and 30 computers.
"Jiang Lingling, Class of 2007 from SH University, congratulations on winning the Grand Prize, please come and receive the award immediately. ”
"Jiang Lingling, Class of 2007 from SH University, congratulations on winning the Grand Prize, please come and receive the award immediately. ”
The stereos outside many shops on the street played such a message, which surprised the tourists, and many of them had flexible brains to understand what was going on, and they praised Li Xiuping's IQ, "Chasing girls like this is talented." ”
Li Xiuping didn't want to listen to the praise of passers-by, he wanted to listen to the ringtone of the mobile phone call, but time passed, the temperature was getting lower and lower, and there were more and more tourists.
BJ time at 11:50 p.m., ten minutes before the countdown, Li Xiuping once again couldn't stop coughing, he felt that his lungs were about to cough out, he squatted on the ground, and he didn't fall down by holding the ground with one hand. He was not in the mood to consider his physical condition, he was very annoyed and regretted at this time, "Paralysis, I'm such a big fool, I should have gone to Lingling a long time ago, I should have gone to find her just after I crossed, why does it have to be tonight, my brain is in water." ”
"Damn, why didn't there be a phone call, didn't Lingling hear it?
"No matter what, I must find Lingling, I have to look at the three directions opposite the Oriental Pearl Tower, and I should be able to run faster. ”
Li Xiuping thought of it, he opened his legs, trotted in the crowd, he ran from the left side of the avenue opposite the Oriental Pearl Tower to the right, ran back to the left from the right, he ran back and forth along both sides of the "U" shape, he ran while looking for Jiang Lingling, but he was so tired that he was sweating, panting, his eyes were about to pop out, and he still didn't find Jiang Lingling.
"Ten...... Nine ......"
The New Year's Eve countdown officially began, tens of thousands of people shouted, Li Xiuping was still running, he accidentally bumped into a passerby, he didn't care about apologizing, he continued to run, he coughed again, he couldn't run, but his eyes were wide, but he still couldn't see Jiang Lingling.
"Four...... Three...... Two...... One. ”
"Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!"
People cheered and hugged each other, Li Xiuping pushed away the passers-by who wanted to hug him, and continued to look for Jiang Lingling.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Dazzling fireworks spread out in the night sky, and many people closed their eyes and crossed their fingers on their chests, praying for a new harvest in the new year, Li Xiuping opened his eyes wide and continued to look for Jiang Lingling.
Five minutes later, the fireworks dispersed, the tourists left, the famous SH Bund began to become empty, Li Xiuping was still running tirelessly, his breathing became more and more rapid, his face became more and more ugly, he couldn't stop coughing, couldn't help sneezing, but he didn't want to stop, he was very afraid, he was very afraid of missing Jiang Lingling tonight, he couldn't be with her in this life as before the crossing.
"No, I have to find her, I'll go to SH University now, I'll go to their dormitory to find her. ”
Li Xiuping walked forward with heavy steps, just two steps, he felt that his breathing was heavier, his eyes couldn't help but be sleepy, his ears heard the sound of "dong dong", his feet were unconscious, his eyes quickly moved down, he fell to the ground, he fainted.
