-- Unexpected endings often belong to two strangers who have never met.

Standing at both ends of the street corner, a miss becomes the beginning of the story.

***

Winter 2009.

In the alley behind the No. 6 High School in Qihai City, there is a grocery store called 'Jiajia'.

There is only a small shop of less than 20 square meters, and several high school students are crowded inside at this time. The room was not big, and the hostess was too busy to get busy.

On the wooden cabinet at the entrance of the store, there is a color TV set of more than ten inches, which is broadcasting the day's "Qihai News".

No one cared about the content of the news, except for him, who had just walked through the door.

He wore a peaked cap, looked like he was twenty-three or four, and stood in the doorway, his eyes focused on the television screen.

The palm of his right hand, which hung down at his side, was wrapped in a white bandage, and he clenched into a fist because of excitement.

"The '1221' extraordinarily large homicide case in Qihai City, which caused a sensation across the country, caused one death and multiple injuries, which aroused heavy concern in the society. After the case occurred, the public security organs quickly set up a special case team to carry out an all-out investigation, and after many days of hard work by the criminal police handling the case, three days after the case occurred, the suspect Li was finally successfully arrested in the early hours of this morning. So far, this cruel and heinous homicide case has been successfully solved..."

Two high school students passed him past after paying their bills after shopping, and one of them looked back at him.

In the cold winter, in the cramped dark alleys, the electric poles hang crumbling street lamps flickering and flickering.

Liang Ju stood under the street lamp in front of the grocery store with his schoolbag on his back, rubbing his hands constantly, sighing.

She kept an eye on the grocery store, and she had to take a closer look at everyone who came out of it to see if it was the person she was looking for.

Two high school boys walked out laughing, and the tall boy was holding a basketball in his hand, his school uniform was casually worn on his body, and sweat was running down his cheeks.

He is the person Liang Ju is looking for today, her first love.

The boy didn't see Liang Ju, and was concentrating on talking to the classmates next to him, Liang Ju chased after him directly and ran in front of the boy.

"Li Hui, why did you break up with me?"

Seeing her, the boy named Li Hui was very surprised. "Why are you here?"

"Why did you break up with me?" Liang Ju stepped forward and pointed at him, repeating.

Li Hui shrugged helplessly, "I went out to play with my school-in-school sister once, and when you come back, you lose your temper with me, Liang Ju, I can't stand you like this." ”

"Li Hui, hurry up!"

The classmates next to him couldn't wait to urge, Li Hui responded, turned around and told Liang Ju: "In the future, we will be divided, don't come to me again." ”

Li Hui turned around and left, not giving Liang Ju a chance to speak at all.

"You wait!"

Liang Ju raised his foot to chase, but unexpectedly, he happened to bump into the person who walked out of the grocery store.

The cap covered half of his face, and when he was hit, the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

"I'm sorry."

Liang Ju glanced at it and hurriedly apologized, and then strode out of the alley.

He leaned over and habitually used his right hand to pick up cigarettes on the ground, but the wound on his hand, which was bandaged with white gauze, was very deep, and just a slight movement made it hurt terribly.

Li Hui stood on the side of the road and looked at the cars speeding by on both sides, and Liang Ju ran over and grabbed his arm.

"I'm your girlfriend, I have the right to know who you're going out with!"

"Girlfriends don't manage as much as you do."

There were students all around, and many alumni saw the pull of the two and exchanged ears. Several male classmates who knew each other even whistled at them, with evil smiles on their faces.

"Hey! Li Hui, how many girlfriends do you have! ”

"yes, it wasn't her who saw you hugging last time!"

As soon as the words fell, the people around laughed.

Li Hui suddenly felt disgraced. He threw his arm impatiently, but Liang Ju grabbed it tightly and still held it tightly.

"Are you annoying, if I had known that you were so pestering, I wouldn't want to deal with you!"

As soon as this remark came out, it caused laughter from the people around him.

Liang Ju was annoyed and punched him, "There is something wrong with you, who took the initiative to confess to me in the first place!" ”

Seeing the lively classmates laughing even more, Li Hui couldn't stand the face, and threw off Liang Ju fiercely.

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."

Regardless of the rapid traffic coming, he saw the stitches and ran to the other side of the road, and the angry Liang Ju also raised his feet to chase after him.

The friction sound of tires brushing the ground and the sound of car honking rang in unison, Liang Ju couldn't retract the few steps he took, and his upper body leaned forward by inertia, seeing that she was about to crash into an oncoming car, just a second, she was about to crawl to the ground.

The driver scolded: "Do you want to die!" ”

Suddenly, there was a commotion behind him, and the man's speed brought a cold wind, and then his arm was grabbed from behind, and the strength seemed to be embedded in the flesh.

Liang Ju was vigorously brought back, and his body turned back at 90 degrees.

"Hmm"

His face hit the man's chest hard, he was very thin, and half of Liang Ju's face was hot and painful.

She was frightened, and opened her mouth to feel that the cold winter wind was drilling into her mouth.

In front of him, his dark eyes were as deep as ink, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his chest rose and fell.

It's the person who was hit by Liang Ju just now!

Although half of his face was covered by the brim of his hat and he couldn't see his facial features clearly, Liang Ju could also feel the anger that came with his big breath.

He spoke suddenly, his voice cold.

"If you are dumped, you will die, you are really spineless."

Liang Ju was aggrieved and immediately retorted, "Who are you, why are you yelling at me!" ”

She threw her arms and kept exerting force, trying to break free from his shackles, "You let go!" ”

He was silent, but the strength of his hands did not weaken in the slightest, and his breathing was unsteady.

Liang Ju looked up, only to see that under the sparse light, his deep eyes were full of anger.

She was stunned, but she didn't dare to move again.

He bit his lip and looked cold.

"You know how important it is to be alive to your loved ones!"

Liang Ju looked at the strange man in front of him in a daze, but he was extra excited.

A sense of innocence poured into his heart, and tears gradually filled Liang Ju's eyes.

He froze, and it dawned on him that he had done something.

Her reckless behavior just now angered him. She simply didn't realize the fragility of life.

He slowly let go of his hand.

"Neurotic, you!"

Liang Ju shook him off and kicked him violently, kicking his calf, and he snorted and half-arched his waist.

"Auntie, I am also something you dare to bully casually!"

Liang Ju rubbed his arm, and there was a hint of crying in his eyes.

His face hung down, and she noticed that the bright red blood had seeped through the gauze on the palm of his right hand.

"You..." Liang Ju shouted, but the words he said back were swallowed back.

She quickly turned her head, and Li Hui on the other side of the road had already jumped onto a bus and left.

She stomped her feet in anger and shouted at the road: "Don't think I'm just going to suck you!" ”

Turning around, he straightened up.

Liang Ju snorted, "I'm going to die for him?" You think I'm an idiot! ”

He looked at her with a complicated look in his eyes.

Liang Ju pouted, his face a little unnatural.

"You, what do you see, haven't you ever seen anyone break up?"

Picking up the schoolbag on the ground, Liang Ju patted the dust on his body, and seeing that he didn't move, her eyes rolled, and she stretched out her middle finger towards him.

On a cold night, her little face was red from the cold, and her eyes were blown with tears by the wind.

She stuck out her tongue, her middle finger up, and her short hair fluttered wildly in the cold wind, but it couldn't stop the sly smile in her eyes and the gloating after doing something wrong.

He was silent, his thin lips pursed.

Suddenly, he took a step towards her, so frightened that she took a big step and turned to run.

"Neurotic!"

Under the street lamp, the girl who looks more and more petite under the loose school uniform runs in the winter night with her schoolbag on her back, like a rabbit jumping around.

That scene gently fell into his eyes.

He stood on the edge of the cold road, his left hand covering the palm of his right hand, and watched her run away, his eyes deep and fascinating.

That year was the winter of 2009, and on that day, Liang Ju was eighteen years old and his first love ended.

In the same year, in the same month, he also lost his only loved one.

He and her, the first time they met, each other with heartache and tears, and there were things that couldn't be avoided

Destiny.
