This young man from Taipei didn't even react after listening to me say the most confident sentence in his life, he stared at me for a moment and asked, "What did you just say?" What man she loves the most is standing right in front of you? ……”

I nodded affirmatively and replied, "That's right, the man she loves the most is standing right in front of you." ”

He looked at me in disbelief, then pointed at himself and then at me, and said, "Do you know Xiao Ai?" ”

"She also has a name called Ruan Ruyi, and I am Jiangqiao on Tulip Road...... I don't know if she's told you about that. ”

He looked at me a little discouragedly, and said after a while: "From her words and deeds, it can be seen that she is a woman who has had a lot of experience, especially in relationships, but even if I am mentally prepared, but there is really such a man who suddenly jumps out and says that he is the man she loves the most, I still want to beat him......"

As he spoke, he took another step in front of me, and I subconsciously retreated, then put my hand on his shoulder and said, "If you want to fight, I should do it first, and I have to be reasonable." ”

He's obviously a lot smaller than me, and when I do try to hold him up, he basically doesn't have the ability to fight further. He hurriedly said to me again: "Don't fight, don't fight, I just want to have a good chat with you." ”

"Keep your distance, okay?"

"You let go first, you can do anything!"

I let go of him and stared at him again before I said to him, "After talking for so long, I still don't know your name...... What is your name? ”

"She Shaobo."

"Call you Apo, okay?"

He nodded, and the name Apo settled between the two of us, who were strangers to each other. He put his guitar in the box and sat with me on a bench on the side of the street. At this moment, the flow of people in the Bauhinia Commercial Plaza has become smaller, except for the occasional person who leaves the movie theater, which is some cleaning staff. really has a little bit of the artistic conception in the song he just had, as if just a few words are whispered, it is a change of the four seasons, and under this cool moonlight, I don't feel how important time is to us.

I went to the convenience store that was still open across the street and bought a few cans of beer, then handed him one of them, and after he took a sip, he lowered his head and said to me, "If you really know Xiao Ai...... I think we're quite connected. ”

"It's quite fateful, otherwise I wouldn't have met you here."

"Let's talk about you and Xiao Aibei...... Aren't you the one he loves the most? Why aren't you ...... together?" he looked up at me and said, "She's definitely not by your side, otherwise why would you be willing to waste so much time and talk to me here as a stranger for so long." ”

I lowered my arms and tightened the beer can in my hand, and then said to the buddy next to me, who didn't show any aggression, "She's gone, just left two days ago...... There was no news of her, and no one knew where she had gone except herself......" As I spoke, I looked up at him, smiled again, and asked, "Apo, is it really good for you to say that a woman is always like this?" Isn't she afraid of a world full of dangers? …… Could it be that she really doesn't know that it's good to have someone around her who can talk at any time? ”

Apo didn't agree with my complaint about Xiao Ai at all, he said to me: "I don't listen to your one-sided words, she must have a reason for doing this, can you reflect on yourself first?" ”

"You're very sharp!"

"It's not that I'm sharp, it's because I don't care about you, so I can't empathize with you!"

Apo is really a very sharp person, although he doesn't want to admit it, but under his sharp offensive, I am willing to think deeply about my life and love for the first time...... And the time of this night suddenly became precious from being wasted!

Ten minutes passed, and Apo had finished drinking the beer in his hand, and then I raised my head, looked at him and said, "For a long, long time in the first half of my life, I have been singing bitter meat tricks to others, in order to win sympathy, in order not to take my due responsibility. I drink to drown my sorrows, I am silent, and I want everyone who cares about me to know that I am unhappy. But when this bitter trick is sung to this point, my heart and body are about to be destroyed, and the people who really love me are also choked by me...... I guess that's probably where I failed the most! ”

Awa looked at me and replied, "If you want to say that, you're really useless...... So what does Xiao Ai like about you? ”

This time, I was not stumped by his sharpness, I replied: "Many of our feelings are accumulated bit by bit in difficulties, if love also has the right time, place and people, we will take advantage of it." ”

After saying this, I wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Apo, who said to me: "You don't need to say it, I believe your words, if there is no special chance, how can she fall in love with such an ordinary man as you!" ”

I was a little speechless, and then I drank the beer that I hadn't drunk for a long time. After a short silence, Apo spoke to me again: "Jiang Qiao, will you go to Xiao Ai?" ”

"Yes, I will definitely go this time."

He looked at me and said to me, "I have a bold idea...... Otherwise, let's get company, and I'll go with you to her. ”

"What are you looking for her?"

Apo didn't care about my resistance, he replied unhurriedly: "Before I came to Nanjing, I talked to my mother about my crush on a girl in the United States, and she encouraged me, whether there is hope or not, but at least give yourself a chance first, that is, a chance to confess...... She also said that life is so long, if you can't live with the person you like, it will be a lifetime of disability...... To be honest, what you said to me today made me feel hopeless, but I can't give up the most precious opportunity of my life so easily. Even if I don't have any hope of being with her, when I get old and look back, I have worked hard, and I have no regrets......"

"Do you really think we're a good fit to team up?"

Po asked rhetorically, "Is she your girlfriend now?" ”

"It's not."

"Then why did you go to her."

"I can't lose her, I want her to live with me."

At this time, Apo looked at me again and said, "Since we have the same idea and the same purpose, why can't we have a chance to compete fairly?" Unless you're not confident in yourself. ”

"You are wrong, although we have the same idea and the same purpose, but we have different starting points, why should you do something that has no hope at all?"

"You still don't understand what I mean, I said, no matter what the end result is, at least I've tried to do it...... I don't want to regret myself, and I don't want to be a person like you who likes to conquer others with bitter tricks, I prefer to express my sincerity and show it to those I like...... Jiangqiao, we represent two different views of love, don't you want to see which one is the most impressive? …… I don't think I have to despair so early because you've already been given up by her once. Or, you have already given up on her once, there is a rift between you, but being with me is a new beginning. ”

At this moment, I can't tell whether the man I met by chance in front of me is a beacon or a big trouble. But the fighting spirit in my heart was aroused by him. I think it would be a great shame for me to be afraid of such a provocation if things have come to this point. I finally got up and said to him, "If you have a lot of time, I would like to have a companion with you, after all, multiple people have more strength, but you have to be mentally prepared, because the result will not change...... In addition, have you applied for a visa for a European country, she is out of the country this time. ”

"Don't worry, I graduated from middle school, and I've been running all over the world, I don't have to worry about things like visas, and I'm also proficient in the languages of several countries, if we team up, you really won't suffer!"

I nodded, and then looked up at the sky again, and my heart was not so absolutely confident, I felt that the reckless man named She Shaobo who appeared in front of me was like a dream for me, and more like a mirror. Or rather, one of life's biggest challenges...... However, I am not averse to this kind of drama, he will make me more aware of myself and Xiao Ai, a woman who may be even more lonely than me.

So, I looked at him again, and his dress and lifestyle made me feel that this man's family must be very superior. Otherwise, love would not have manifested itself in him in a very great, dreamy way.

I also envy him for having such an enlightened mother, and all my resistance and pain now comes from the trade-off between family and love. Therefore, I said that Apo is a mirror of mine, but I still sincerely hope that Xiao Ai still loves me who cares about firewood, rice, oil and salt, not the other side of the mirror. Otherwise, why is she still single after all this time?

At this moment, I miss my grandmother so much, and if she were still alive, she would definitely give me the clearest guidance. And after having this thought, I realized that what was most lacking between me and Xiao Ai was a bridge, so when grandma was there, even if there was a conflict between us, it would be easily resolved, because grandma would persuade us back and forth between us, telling us the importance of two people being together. Now, we are too far away, but we have to rely on our own efforts in everything.

……

On this dramatic night, after She Shaobo and I exchanged contact information, we parted ways at Bauhinia Commercial Plaza.

Back on Tulip Road, I opened a room at the Tulip Hotel, and then lay down in bed and recalled the conversation I had with Po several times that night. I think his presence gave me a sense of crisis, but it also gave me a lot of inspiration.

I told myself that it was time to get rid of the trick of the bitter man, and from now on, I would face each day happily and enjoy the life I had. Just like Apo, he knew that the result would be despair, but he still hoped to treat me as an opponent, and then pursue that dream that belonged to him!
