The plane took off on time at half past two in the afternoon, when the fuselage began to look up, I began to look down by the window, I gradually saw the whole picture of Nanjing City, I was shocked by its vast scale, and the joys, sorrows and sorrows that I had happened here became worthless at this moment, because behind this huge city, life and death are staged at every moment, but I still have the conditions to do what I want to do, find the people I want to find, this is lucky enough!

With this in mind, I cherish this trip to Taiwan even more, and I will arrive in Taipei at dusk, which must be the busiest time in that city, and everywhere is full of after-work relaxation.

The plane began to fly smoothly, and my eyes also left the city on the ground, I closed my eyes and wanted to rest for a while, but my mind was full of simulating what scene I would encounter Xiao Ai in a random situation. I hope it will be at the gate of the school, just as I used to like to go to Nanyi to find her at dusk, and then she will give me a warm welcome and let me eliminate the strangeness of the city.

It was almost five o'clock when my plane landed at Taoyuan Airport in Taipei, and I got my luggage and walked with the crowd to the exit of the terminal.

At the moment, I was facing a completely unfamiliar environment, most of the people here spoke Hokkien that I couldn't understand, which made me feel a little uncomfortable when I first arrived, after all, Taipei is not an inland city, and there will still be some sense of distance in my heart.

Xiao Ai's Shih Hsin University is a long way from Taoyuan Airport, and I chose to take the bus after weighing it up, although it would be a few stops, but it was really the most cost-effective way to take in the city's scenery.

……

As night began to fall, the rush hour bus was getting crowded, and I was distracted by the inconvenience of carrying a large suitcase and piano case, and out of curiosity about the city, I spent most of my time watching the people and the flickering neon lights outside the window.

Here, there are a lot of people riding scooters, especially some girls, when they wear fancy clothes and drive by the street like a relay, I even look at them a few more times, and even think that Xiao Ai is mixed in with them. Although it is still a long way from Shisin University, I just want to meet her, and although it gives me a lot of new feelings, it is not good to be alone after all.

It's another stop on the road, the passengers have up and down, the carriage is more crowded than just now, I protect my luggage, while looking out the window, this place in Taipei is still very different from the inland metropolis, in addition to the 101 building, there are not too many outstanding high-rise buildings, this may be related to the fact that it is in the earthquake zone, not suitable for building super-high buildings, but it also gives people a very comfortable feeling, there will not be too much momentum on the sense of oppression, I finally feel comfortable, And those stalls along the roadside give me a lot of intimacy, which is similar to Tulip Road, but it is a lot more prosperous!

I remembered the name of the street, and I planned to ask Xiao Ai to accompany me for a stroll...... I was a little distracted, and the carriage shook again, and I didn't notice anything unusual because it was too crowded, so I just kept staring out the window......

The car stopped at the station, and it was another stop past, and my mood became more urgent, because I really thought that I could find Xiao Ai when I arrived at Shih-Hsin University, because it was relatively remote, and she was so beautiful, as long as I took her photo in my mobile phone and asked the nearby vendors, there would always be news of her, and I couldn't help but be complacent about my cleverness.

At this time, a middle-aged man next to me said to me: "Young man, your wallet and mobile phone have just been taken away by thieves, don't you feel it at all?" ”

I was nervous for a while, and hurriedly reached into my pocket, but there was no mobile phone and wallet in it at all, and then the powerlessness of being in a foreign land enveloped me, I was a little flustered, and I didn't even know how to call the police in Taipei. Besides, for these habitual thieves who are on the run and commit crimes, unless they are caught on the spot, the police are of no use at all.

I asked with a bitter face, "Uncle, why didn't you remind me just now?" ”

The middle-aged man waved his hand, signaling that this matter was not easy to say. I smiled wryly, it seems that Taipei is no different from the mainland cities in terms of sociality, there are thieves, there are people who dare not dare to act bravely, and I am the unlucky person.

It is foreseeable that my trip to Taipei this time will not be as smooth as Chen Yi's blessing!

……

The car finally arrived at the terminal, I got off the bus with my luggage and piano case, it was much more remote than I imagined, I was even more at a loss, I even lost my mobile phone and bank card, who else could I contact and ask him to send me some life-saving money?

Fortunately, after getting off the plane, I kept an extra eye on it, put my identity documents and travel procedures to Taiwan into the piano box, and also put 1,000 yuan in RMB.

It was already half past eight in the evening, I dragged my suitcase and turned back, walked to a relatively prosperous neighborhood, found a travel agency, and then converted all the life-saving 1,000 yuan into New Taiwan dollars.

After tossing back and forth like this, by the time I arrived at the incomplete address given by Xiao Ai, it was already half past nine in the night.

I found a hostel with very simple conditions similar to a private house, the owner is a Taiwanese young man with dyed yellow hair, a little fat, and very small eyes, the most eye-catching is the gold necklace with thick fingers hanging around his neck, and this is the reason why I chose to stay in this hostel, because the boss gave me the guarantee of confidence, he himself is a gangster, should be able to cover me as a stranger.

The fat guy took the document from my hand, and after taking a look, his tone suddenly became very enthusiastic: "You are a roar from Nanjing?!" …… My sister opened a bubble tea shop on Guanqian Street in Suzhou, which should be quite close to your Nanjing. ”

I hurriedly put it on: "Close, it's too close, I like to go to Suzhou to play when I have nothing to do, Guanqian Street is a good place, maybe I've bought your sister's milk tea." ”

Taiwanese people were more enthusiastic than expected, and he said to me: "Oh, my name is Zhou Wende, you can call me Ade, since everyone is so fateful, I will give you a cheaper room rate, according to the price of the youth hostel, NT$500 a night." ”

"Reliable!"

……

I prepaid for 3 nights, and then carried my luggage and piano case into the room that Ade arranged for me, the room was almost as I imagined, only a bed and a TV, the bathroom was ridiculously small, but after all, it was for this price, and there was nothing to complain about.

After settling down, I went to Shih-Hsin University, but unfortunately I no longer had a mobile phone, and I lost my photos, so I could only rely on memory to describe Xiao Ai's appearance to the nearby vendors, but after walking two streets, I didn't get any valuable information, which made me panic and frustrated, and even began to wonder if Xiao Ai was really here.

If so, why do I feel that I am getting farther and farther away from her, and the place I am staying in now, only the strange and thick night of Taipei is in close contact with me.

I was a little tired, so I found a snack bar, I didn't dare to order too extravagantly, I just asked for a bowl of braised rice, and then while eating, I thought about how to find Xiao Ai.

Finding Yu Xin is the most reliable, after all, she is the only one who has a way to contact Xiao Ai. However, not to mention that my phone has been lost, even if the phone is still there, I want to endure it, because I have a seemingly romantic agreement with Xiao Ai, we hope to meet here, and the target range is locked to such a precise point, the probability of a chance encounter is also very high, so I have to be patient, and then take the days I am about to live in Taipei as a survival challenge.

I'm not afraid of such challenges, and I've already experienced even the worst of life anyway......

I just ate so absentmindedly, although I am not afraid of anything, but it does not mean that I am not lonely, especially in this new world University is still a media type university, so those student couples who walked in front of me in twos and threes are all good-looking, and this makes me very unlucky to wander alone in a foreign land!

I am indeed a very unlucky person, from Nanjing to Taipei, I am full of expectations and fantasies, but at the moment only the night of Taipei accompanies me, I lost not only my wallet and mobile phone, but also my good mood.

If I'm a lucky person, maybe I'll meet Xiao Ai who came out for supper this night, and then I don't have to envy the student couples who hugged and walked past me, I really don't like them in my sight, looking like they love me to death.

……

The night deepened, standing at the gate of Shih Hsin University, I lit my first cigarette after coming to Taipei, I looked in the direction where the students came for a while, looked up at the sky for a while, and repeatedly remembered the song "Lukang Town" that I had talked to Xiao Ai about.

The song shouted: "Taipei is not my home, my hometown has no neon lights", which sings my mood at this moment, in my mood, Taipei is not my home, but I am not so angry, because there are women I am waiting for, and I don't care whether there are neon lights here.

So, calm down and enjoy your first night in Taipei! Perhaps, at this moment, Xiao Ai is only one street away from me, we breathe the same breath, the same starry sky, and it is only a matter of time before we meet her!

My book isn't as abusive as it says, it's just that people haven't found a good angle to look at it, right?
