On this morning before the arrival of late autumn, I stood at the entrance of the platform with the crowd with my train ticket, waiting for the D2206 bullet train from Shanghai to Nanjing. I was fortunate enough to see the first sunrise of this autumn, and it hung on the horizon that seemed very close but far away, and the whole city shrank at this moment, just like a house lit by a light bulb. But there are innumerable veins in this house, and time is the blood flowing in these veins, which makes the sojourners sometimes happy, sometimes hesitant, sometimes like two hundred and five, sometimes intelligent and cunning...... The only thing that remains unchanged is birth, old age, sickness and death, and then generations of people have changed.

At half past six, I got on the train with my guitar on my back and simple luggage, and after two and a half hours of driving, I returned to Nanjing, which I had not left for long, but felt like I had not been away for a long time.

No one came to pick me up at the train station, so I tossed and turned from bus to bus to the tulip road that gave birth to me but had changed.

Along the way, I passed through many places, I saw the radio and television building where Chen Yi once worked, and also saw the wedding company founded by Lao Jin and now relocated, and I spent 6 years in it. I also passed by Nanjing University of the Arts, and saw many freshmen eating breakfast in a small restaurant outside the school, and their longing for their studies and life added a lot of vitality to this school. And those students who are close to graduation are just like me now, they take the bus to and from every place where there is an office building, looking for new hope in life.

This is what I saw in Nanjing, and the people living in it...... I also think it's a good place, but I don't have the ability to be a master of life here, so my frustration has nothing to do with the city at all.

So, no matter where I go in the future or where I settle down, it can be regarded as an escape.

I stood at the door of Nanyi and got off the bus, then looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard and smoked a cigarette until I caught the bus all the way back to Tulip Road, still thinking about why I stopped there.

……

After swaying like this, I returned to Tulip Road at noon, and then booked a place in the "Wutong Hotel" and waited for Chen Yi, who also came back from Beijing today.

At about 12 o'clock, an Audi A4 that I could already write down the license plate number was leaning against a temporary parking space on the side of the road. Then, Chen Yi, who was wearing a red robe, stepped out of the car. Her complexion looks good, which may be related to the fact that the media company is on the right track, and she can be regarded as completely out of the trough of her career...... In fact, she is not a particularly tenacious woman, but when she made up her mind to break away from the system of the TV station, she was still a successful woman. Therefore, sometimes it seems that life becomes wonderful because of choices, and it is lived in the same spot, although it is stable, but it also lacks some passion for life. Unless, there is a person you love very much, and you have the same pursuits as you, this kind of stability after breaking away from passion can seem reliable.

After Chen Yi sat down, he stared at me, and after a while, he smiled at me and said, "The last time I saw you, you still had a monk's head, and now you have grown into an inch head, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and we haven't even been in touch." ”

I subconsciously touched my hair, then nodded and replied: "After Grandma's funeral, I haven't been back to Nanjing, it's been more than a month...... ”

"yes, how are you doing in Shanghai?"

I replied lightly: "It's good, I met a few new friends, and I'm going to make a music bar and hotel together, I told you before, the investor is Qiao Ye." ”

"Of course I do, but I'm happier to hear you tell me personally...... I always hope that you can get out of this low point in your life as soon as possible. ”

I replied in a joking tone, "And then the next trough?" ”

Chen Yi's tone was reproachful: "Why are you so negative!" ”

"Can't you tell I'm joking? …… Even if there is a trough, what can it represent? Can you still live through the bitter present? I think that no matter what happens in the future, I will face it with the mentality that I am used to...... Oh, don't talk about me, how have you been doing this time? ”

"Me? …… It's good, I've been in Beijing for the first two weeks, and there are a lot of classmates there, all of whom are elites in the media industry, so I used their resources to cooperate with several big brand sponsors, and then the next program is in preparation, and the broadcast platform is still at the level of satellite TV! ”

"You can sign up for so many high-quality projects in such a short time, you are really amazing!"

In the face of my heartfelt praise, Chen Yi shook his head, and then said solemnly: "Jiang Qiao, you are wrong, you think I am powerful because you don't see who is behind me...... Many people choose to cooperate with our media company, more because they have confidence in the capital behind it. Therefore, Qin Miao is the core of this company......"

"That's right, people who do business now are very realistic...... By the way, what role does Jin Qiu play in this media office now? ”

Chen Yi's face looked a little complicated, and she replied after a while: "She handed us a withdrawal application about a week ago, and she withdrew from the media company and left the house...... I think she did this because she didn't want the public relations crisis of the wedding company to affect the development of the media company...... Once, I thought she was a woman who valued interests and capital very much, but after this incident, I changed some of my views on her...... She is actually a very benevolent woman and very resistant...... If I had encountered so many unexpected things, I am afraid I would have no claim a long time ago! ”

Regarding Jin Qiu's recent news, I only heard intermittently from other people's mouths that what Chen Yi said today is the latest news...... I don't have to think too much to understand where she is now. In my heart, I even hoped that Yang Jin could help her, but Yang Jin never did......

In my daze, Chen Yi said to me again: "It's almost time, let's talk about your business." ”

"Uh......" I couldn't organize words for a while, but Chen Yi raised his hand at this time and looked at the watch on his wrist, as if there was something important to deal with.

I hurriedly took out a cooperation plan from my bag, which contained a detailed cooperation plan, as well as a plan for the distribution of resources and benefits. But because she was in a hurry, when she handed it to Chen Yi, she knocked over the tea cup in front of her, and the water in the cup wet the plan and spilled her.

I hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to ......"

Chen Yi shook her head, signaled that it was okay, and then took out a pack of tissues from her bag and wiped the tea on her body, while I looked at her a little helplessly......

At this time, a black Land Rover with a Nanjing license plate was parked in the parking space opposite the hotel, and then a young man who looked like a social elite came out of it, and the white business suit made him look very energetic, although not particularly handsome, but there was a very special demeanor.

Come to think of it, he is well educated, and even if he hasn't spoken yet, he already looks very decent!

He came to me and Chen Yi, Chen Yi looked at him and smiled, and then introduced each other to us: "Jiang Qiao, this is my boyfriend, Wang Ze." ”

Then he said to the man named Wang Ze: "This is Jiang Qiao, who grew up with me...... Let's get to know each other. ”

Wang Ze took the initiative to stretch out his hand to me, and then said "Lucky Meeting", I was stunned for a moment, and then I also held his hand in the harsh afternoon sun, and then said "Lucky Meeting" like the wind.

At the same time, Chen Yi stood up from her position, her hand was naturally held with Wang Ze, and then said to him: "Accompany me to the mall to buy a few sets of clothes later, this one on my body was accidentally wet by Jiang Qiao." ”

"No problem, I'll accompany you wherever you go."

Chen Yi glanced at Wang Ze with happiness on his face, then picked up his handbag from the chair, and then said to me, who was stunned and silent: "You can reprint a copy of this cooperation plan, I want to discuss it with several senior executives and shareholders in the company, if they are also willing to support, we will meet and talk again......

"Okay, okay."

Chen Yi nodded, she seemed to look at me, but she didn't seem to look at me...... Then, he took Wang Ze's arm and walked towards the Land Rover.

I looked at her blurring back, and I didn't know whether to be sad or happy. I just feel that fate is a very strange force. In the end, the person who was with Chen Yi was not me, a childhood sweetheart, let alone Qiu Zi'an. It's a man who doesn't know the background, doesn't know the details, and is named Wang Ze.

I should bless Chen Yi fiercely...... Perhaps, this is her biggest drop! And in this world, no one has to love anyone. Regarding love, we all have the right to choose independently, as long as we meet the most right person in the end, then all the process is worth it, even if it has been painful.

Facing the dazzling sun, I lit my second cigarette of the day, and not far from me, there was the five-star "Tulip" themed wedding hotel under construction, listening to the faint sound of mechanical work, like a noise.

I finally looked down and smiled...... Then he looked into the distance again and continued for a long time...... I know that all our pain is for life, and all of our choices are for life. As long as you can be happy, who is who and who loves whom, what is the difference?

……

On this night, I found Jin Qiu, who was already very drunk, in the 1912 Bar Street in Nanjing, and her haggard face reminded me of Chen Yi in the spring breeze, and then I felt the power of time again. Because just a few months ago, they were in the opposite situation.

I looked at her in the dim light, and she looked at me with a smirk, took another sip of the beer bottle in her hand, and then looked at the crowd on the dance floor......

The moment I wanted to talk to her, she lit herself a cigarette and became the most frustrated woman in the entire city of Nanjing...... In fact, all her pain was real. And today I seem to have degenerated into a spectator who has nothing to do with everything, watching Chen Yi be happy and watching her lose her soul......

She has been drowned in the hustle and bustle of happy release, but her soul is imprisoned!
